In 2014, more than 18 million runners finished their running events; moreover,running events in the US have been increasing for last 20 years to almost 28,000 events. As I know, every time the cities organize events such as Boston, New York and Chicago marathon, most people participate enthusiastically; joining and cheering up the runners. For me, it seem interesting to me.

So, I determined to join running events, and my first event was "Seattle Marathon's Santa V Superhero 5K"

2014 Seattle: It was begin point!!

Seattle Marathon’s Santa VS Super Hero 5K was a small running event, located in Seattle, Washington state, USA. It was not a serious running event; it seem to be more fancy than a sport (some people came to walk with their beautiful costume). The highlight of the event was that the runners were encouraged to dress like Superhero or Santa.

So it was easy to find Spider-man, Iron-man than ordinary people

(2014 Seattle) race day

Every thing seem perfect in the race day, except snow !! 

It was extraordinary. If you come to the northwest, You may not expect snow. Moreover, If you ask Seattle people, they will tell you that the snow might fall one day per year. But that day was snowing!. Tell you the truth, I almost gave up!! 

Due to high application fee, I still followed my plan, dress as MAN IN BLACK and went to the starting line. When I stayed there, I found that not so much people joined. It was good because it was not too crown like famous marathon events. Most of them were amateur runner. I saw someone came with their children in the child-car, someone bring their dogs to run. These made my happier as least I would not the last finisher (I thought)

HA HA HA HA

(2014 Seattle) Starting point

When the time came, every runner began to run!!. 

AND I FOUND THAT I RAN SLOWER THAN THEM!!!

You must not imagine that that how nice people were. If you watch boxing, two men fight each for become the winner. If you watch football, teams fight for the trophy. However, yourself is the only man, you competing with. Many people came to talk to me during the starting line, they cheering up me during “the reverse point is not far, Go Go”. I saw a guy seem to get damage to his legs after that other runners came to him and help him.

(2014 Seattle) 

After running around downtown Seattle for 45 minuets, I arrived the finish line. I arrived it almost the last person. SO, I PRETENDED THAT I DID NOT CARE

HA HA HA HA

This race made me to believe that you can run no matter who you are: Superhero: Spider-man, Iron-man, Santa, or Man in Black or you are just a ordinary people (like me); or no matter how you dress: running clothes, national costumes or business cloths, you should run!!

Suit up!! Let’s run together!!
