What makes 15，000 men and women runfor hours，and what makes them run throughthe streets on a cold day without coats？ I wasone of those runners.The race is calledmarathon(马拉松).
I had never run more than eight milesbefore，and here I was training. Since therace is in April，I had to run throughout thewinter，and in Boston，winters are cold.Formost people，just putting on their shirts，sweaters，jackets，and hats is exercise enough.Ifound myself out on the dark streets，running along ice sidewalks(人行道).Even in gloves，my fingers got so cold that they looked like red carrots.My nose didn't get warm untillunchtime！
Finally，the big day arrived.The weather was cold，with ice and rain.Bang！ The gunsounded，and we started.I didn't go anywhere at first because I was standing behind somany people.I had to wait for them to move.

I kept running though.At last，I heard a voice at the finishing line.
