Race Story
From Framework to Finish Line
Rachel Lu
I run because I meet a better version of myself after mile six. Until recently, however, I would stop shortly thereafter. According to the model I had built in my mind, the health benefits of running greatly diminish after mile nine, so how could someone be brave (read: insane) enough to run a full marathon?
How could they reject such sound science? Is it really worth using up one’s limited share of luck in life on a marathon lottery? Why not just go for a run in the park?

2017年底為跑群做了兩部視頻, 學了很多.
第一部是為12月初的飛狐長跑跑者之夜而做, 本來只是簡單地蒐集些跑步的照片做當天的投影片使用, 但因為馬拉松跑者們各各都太多感人的故事了, 然後剛好我整個11月跑完紐約馬拉松之後被醫生下令做了個馬拉松月子, 為了讓自己多些生存的目的, 再加上沒事找事做的毛病, 就一個個我能訪問到的跑者我都訪問到了, 蒐集了大家初馬, PR與跑馬的心得後花了共約兩個多星期的時間做出了這部近10分鐘的大作. 知道單就每人幾張相片跟一兩句話實在無法道盡一年來大家的辛苦與歡樂的千分之一, 但是但願把一整個團體的回憶與心得加在一起後就是一部感動人心的作品.
感谢跑友Kevin提供的美好场地与专业的设备，拥有厨师执照的Tony精心准备了许多台湾小吃， 副队长新颜费时联系点餐，加上歌神舞神瑜珈神倒立神平板神全员到齐，大家踊跃的参与美食美酒配上深情的歌声跟奔放的舞姿，圆满了本跑群第一回举办的年终卡拉ok运动欢乐趴.
It's been a while since we ran together as a group on this scenic route along the Hudson valley. I think it was July when we were here last time? Up and down hills are certainly very challenging and they could be even brutal for both our body and soul. However, we can't resist the calling of such a beauty, and the proud feeling of able to conquer this place.
