前几天的天气预报一直说这个周末有可能下雨，不习惯在雨中长跑的我提前向训练团队的主教练M请假不参加这个星期六的集体长跑。然而,昨晚收到主教练M发来的电子邮件说今天清晨不会有雨，建议我不要轻易放弃。因此，今天早晨我就与朋友们一起跑了14英里，8分21秒的pace，感觉挺好。回到家，洗漱完毕后，检查电子邮件，读到跑友P昨晚从芝加哥发来的一封信，我被感动得眼睛湿润了。
30岁出头的P和妻子有一对漂亮的龙凤胎儿女。孩子们已经6岁，哥哥上小学1年级，妹妹却因为患自闭症在接受特殊教育。每个人训练跑马拉松的原因各异。而这次P跑芝加哥马拉松是为自闭症研究机构募款而跑，为象他女儿一样的自闭症患者而跑。征得P的同意，我将他的来信和我的回复放在我的博客（注：我将其中的部分信息用字母屏蔽了）。愿更多的人关心和帮助自闭症患者以及他们的家人，更祈祷能早日寻找到预防和治疗自闭症的方法。

Dear friends and family,
As you know, I will be running in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday. This will be my third marathon and first marathon for which I had to prepare during the scorching summer months in TTT. Chicago is also first of the two marathons that I will run for Organization for Autism Research （OAR）this year.
I am ready… for many reasons.
I am ready because I ran almost 1000 miles to prepare for this event. I am ready because the average temperature in which I was running was more than 80 degrees. I am ready because the humidity in HHH hasn’t been less than 100% for many months now.
Most of all, I am ready because I have your support. Through your generosity, I have been able to raise $X,XXX for the OAR. The great people at OAR will use this money to fund research that will one day explain the reasons why perfectly healthy kids like my daughter K can’t find a way to deal with the things the rest of us take for granted. I love you all for that.
At some point it will get really tough on Sunday. The dreaded wall. Knowing that I have you all behind me will drive me to finish stronger than ever before. I dedicate every inch of the 26.2 miles ahead of me to you.
Love,
P

Dear P,
Your email moved me to tears. I pray someday there will be a breakthrough for K and for all kids on the spectrum. She is blessed to have a father like you who will fight for her and be her champion.
I’m so proud of you for pushing through the heat and the humidity. No matter what will happen tomorrow when gun goes off, you are a winner. Min and I will be thinking of you and praying for you every step of the way.
Love,
L

谢谢鼓励。“Humanity is so precious”，说得真好！
Humanity is so precious!
Dear心姐，谢谢你的问好、鼓励、和祝福！我的跑友P和他的家人与我和我的先生成了好朋友。每次看到他的美丽女儿K，我都会情不自禁地想到你的英俊大河，在我的心中激发着与身而来的母爱和柔情。知道姐姐最近全家团聚，为你们感到高兴。问好并祝秋安！
谢谢晴天妹妹的理解、鼓励、和祝福！我的朋友P今天平安顺利跑完了芝加哥马拉松，用时小于4小时。
谢谢晴天妹妹知我心。是啊，自从2年前因为所谓的中年危机踏上训练跑马拉松，到今年1月份达标波士顿马拉松以及明年春天去跑波士顿马拉松，跑马拉松的目的和意义有了质的变化。另外，无论是我第一年参加的马拉松训练小组，还是第二年参加的马拉松训练团队，我与跑友们建立了深厚的友谊。这是一群相互帮助、相互鼓励的忠诚朋友。不仅是我们跑友之间，我们的家人之间也相互认识，成为了朋友。
爱你和宝贝安娜，祝你们新一周愉快安康！
谢谢分享，让这个世界充满爱和理解，少一些炫耀和不断的高攀。
在某些命运之前，也许我们可以重新思考，什么是生命的意义。
祝福你们全家，和惦记的朋友们，爱你们！
谢谢教练兄的鼓励。因为计划明年4月份跑波士顿马拉松，所以，明年1月份的休马我只跑半马。波士顿马拉松训练明年1月下旬才开始，我现在打酱油跟着训练团队的朋友们训练，我一周只跑3次，并且都是集体训练时跑。那些集体intervals和tempo run对我来说很困难，但也是帮助最大的，所以周末long run的pace还不错。
最近得知我的半马和全马成绩都达标纽约马拉松年龄组的要求，不需要参加抽签就可以报名纽约马拉松。当然，我没有毅力那样做，因为纽约马拉松是在11月份，必须象芝加哥马拉松一样在夏天参加训练。这也是我敬佩我的跑友P，被他感动的原因之一。
祝周末愉快！
