鄂马三游

闲云逸冬

<h3>  闻汉之东邻鄂举办半程马拉松,因循首马必跑之规,欣然报名。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;鄂乃驰名中外“武昌鱼”原产地,素有“百湖之市”、“鱼米之乡”称号。溯鄂之源,可至帝尧,夏时不知何故得“鄂”之名,由此延续至今,进而延伸为湖北省简称。汉未“碧眼小儿”孙权于此称帝建吴,至此鄂名名扬天下。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;初冬之未,前往首届鄂马,来去自是顺畅,过程却多磨难;人皆曰跑马,吾却曰游马!</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;游者,游泳也,非旅游也。游泳之于跑马,一水一土,风牛马不相及,何故罗列并称谓游马?</h3> <h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;其一,鄂马之游,游于水。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;鄂虽号称百湖之市,但此处之水非指湖水,乃是雨水,非游于湖,乃游于雨。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;比赛之时,自鸣枪伊始,连绵之雨,不绝于路。初始之态,斜风细雨,淅淅沥沥,时断时续,漫于空中,落于街面;及至路渐远,雨渐绵,地面已浸湿,偶遇积水,左弯右跳,小心而过,以免沾湿鞋袜;再而冷风挟雨,滂沱如注,浑身瞬时透湿,似浸没于水中,与冬泳无异,北风吹拂,寒冷异常;此时鞋袜已全湿,地面或水坑,或小沟,落脚便再无顾忌,脚踏水中,水花飞浅。四周水雾迷茫,所戴帽饰,帽沿水滴成线,几遮蔽视野。此后路程,便是小雨中雨大雨循环反复,不知更叠有几番轮回。如此风雨兼程,不禁想起清初才子纳兰性德《长相思》:</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;山一程,水一程,身向榆关那畔行,夜深千帐灯。风一更,雪一更,聒碎乡心梦不成,故园无此声。——《长相思•山一程》[清]纳兰性德</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;今日之势,莫非当年情景再现?!</h3> <h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;其次,鄂马之游,游于雾。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;雨势渐大,雾亦渐浓,跑马之道隐于雨,跑马之人游于雾,前不瞻头,后难见尾。启程来鄂之前,楚天大地雾霾甚浓,尚忧赛事能否如期举行,及至开赛一刻,天降净雨,洗尽凡尘,雾霾变水雾,实乃吉人自有天相,好事当遇佳期!</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;人在跑途,雨势越大,越觉空气清爽,越观雾之愈浓,前途之迷漫。然则并不担忧迷路,一则前方跑友甚众,后来之人,接踵即可,二则道上志愿者敬业有加,道边的民众热情似火,皆成赛道路径指南。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;每遇恶劣天气跑马,总怜志愿者之辛劳,叹观赛者之热情。鄂马之雨前所未有,且风雨交加,跑者尚可运动暖身,却不知志愿者如何在赛冷中保温。每念及此,对志愿者敬佩之意油然而生。沿街两边民众聚集,皆列道观摩,或撑伞,或雨衣,更有甚者无遮无挡傲立于树下,群情激奋,呐喊助威之声不绝于耳,间或有社区民众盛装列队于雨中、载歌舞表演以助马拉盛事。然则于他地赛事中皆有的中小学生团队表演,于鄂马沿线并未见到,概因天气恶劣,孩童不宜久露风雨之中。想必组委会虑事周全,因时制宜,人性化组织,也免去了孩童们的凄风冷雨之苦。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;赛道上最受追捧之人无疑是沿途摄影师,此时的摄影师同样是赛道上风景:斜风劲雨,茫茫雾色,远方赛道中央突现一人,包裹严实,蓑衣端坐,长枪短炮,捕捉着迎面而来的跑友,这敬业之态,励志感人!</h3> <h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;其三,鄂马之游,游于心。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;跑马三年,历难无数,风雨兼程,数不胜数,若论雨之暴虐,首推此鄂!鄂马之恶,实乃名实相符。</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;然却虽是天公不美,于己而言,恰得不求闻达、轻松怡然之休闲之旅,有群友美女笑笑相伴,有同事马哥同行,身处赛中,神游事外,情怀慢摇于雨,思绪挥洒于风,心神感悟,远近飘荡:</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;事业不易,职场平淡,领导嘱托,同事成长;</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;长辈们的安康,晚辈们的努力,亲友们的艰强;</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;一年多的伤痛,多家医院来回奔波,反反复复的疗理,久难治愈的痛楚;</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;……</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;天天作壁上观、电脑桌前围观跑友们狂秀东湖绿道揽胜之乐、沙湖大桥璀璨灯光之美,无时不盼能重回前缘。而今虽伤痛尚未恢复,无法奋力PB,只能情怀跑动,却已是心满意足,喜不自制!</h3><h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;痛楚时常漫长,欢愉却是简单,且是短暂,不知不觉间,一个多时辰已过,抬眼前望,雨渐小,雾渐散,终点龙门依稀出现在前方,鄂马之旅,虽有肤肌筋骨虐劳,却得另类畅游乐趣。人生之福,生活之乐,抛却种种曲折,其实并不难!</h3><div><br></div><h3 style="text-align: right;"> 2018年12月17日于武昌青鱼嘴</h3>
