Two or three years ago,About Running in Our Life Articles I went to Boston. I went to look at this place which was called Hopkinton. I want to what the village is like when there is nobody. Hopkinton is very peaceful. There is a plaza in this village which is full of trees and grass. It is also quiet. It is actually a common place in this world. There is a house which is made of tiles. People can see other buildings on the top of this house. A church can be seen here. In the cathedral, we can find a golden mark of wind and a pointed pagoda. The church's brass loses its own color. It is green now because of oxygen. This town is similar with other towns. However, we must pay attention to one point. The difference is that there are two thick and white lines. Actually the best runners run between the two lines. On special occasions, women also run between them. There is a surprising thing. I see 6 people who also stand near these two lines. Actually they came here to express their tribute to this race. Finally, runners come to Boston and they all feel anxious. Runners prepare much for Marathon game and they cannot do other trainings at all. Their feeling has changed.
Furthermore, participators always are anxious and they can not sleep well before the race. They have many dreams at night and wake up in the early morning. I meet a participator who attends this Marathon game. His friend and he live in the same room. Because of anxiety, he wakes in the early mooring and at three he can not sleep. At that time, he finds that his friend is doing push-up. He is trying to relax and to keep a good condition. There is another runner. In 1076's Marathon game, he performed in a wrong way. He went to Boston Plaza in the early morning. Before the sun rose, he had run six miles already. Finally morning is coming. The restaurants offer pancakes for the runners who participate in Marathon game. At 8:30, all the runners go to Hopkinton. They must accept the physical examination in Hopkinton. This exam is the most careless in the world. So in 1976, this exam was cancelled. It is very useless. During the race, runners must report their arrivals in middle school's gym. There they can get one number and four pins. The gym is full of noise and clamor. Moreover, we can smell the taste of pine oil. At ordinary times, runners always wear shabby clothes to do their exercises. But when they participate in the game, they must put on their beautiful clothes. They often wear their short trousers and beautiful hair bands. They also wear their new nylon sport suit on which we can see the name of the club. Many press photographers are waiting for the beginning of the game. They have their own cars there. Certainly you can find many cameras there. We can see a lot of outstanding sportsmen nearby the starting line. There are also many common players. Some informal participators also run with others. Certainly some people like running slowly and then run after those competitors. In a word, Marathon is very interesting in our modern life.
