#my running partner become that 5% who persist in running

Last night, when I opened my eyes, it was already6:16.I jumped out of bed like a carp flipping in water, and on the way, I started running while using the Codoon app..The first thing I saw was6:15.Brother Jian had posted a message in the 'Codoon Pingyin Walk' group saying 'I fell asleep.' I felt a bit of joy, haha, I had company. But this thought quickly vanished because at that moment, otherteam memberswere already running on the track...

When I arrived,the two teammates on the track were already sweating. I tied my shoelaces and immediately joined them. As we were moving forward together, hey, Brother Jian arrived. His first words were, 'When I looked from the east side of the wall, I didn't see you, but when I ran to the west side, I saw you sitting on the ground tying your shoelaces.' Haha... A burst of wild laughter, like we were injected with adrenaline, echoed. This is our running team—Tianxing Jiandao.

Becausewe all love running,we formed the 'Tianxing Jiandao' running team,andcelebrated with drinks, set rules,and on the running path,we shared our footsteps..

Looking back, there are so many emotions. Initially, our goal for running was simple—lose weight. Every day, we gathered from different directions to the same starting point, ran the same route, reached the same endpoint, and then sought a new beginning from different starting points. It was quite liberating.

At times, we were passionately arguing about who drank too much and didn't get up, or who became a deserter, leading to disagreements, debates, and even splits..But more often, there was the perseverance of not quitting despite minor injuries, and strategic shifts to the track when legs hurt. This was a testament to our commitment to the promise of 'no abandonment, no giving up.' Looking back, oversleeping or drinking too much was just like falling in sports.

Because of everyone's companionship and support, we collectively gained the perseverance to stand up. When we 'fell,' we never stayed down but strived to 'stand up' and catch up, truly achieving a transformation from 'not one less' to 'definitely not without me.'

To this day, what we do is no longer purely about losing weight but discovering something meaningful. Since forming the team,we haverunover1400.

Friends once said that when people see something meaningful,90%of them think they should change, but only55%take action, and in the end, only5%persist and become strong! Yes, it is the power of the team that has kept us doing this meaningful thing. And now, we need to think not just about what the team has given me, but more about what I have done for the team. Initially, the team was built on pure brotherly feelings, but now these feelings have elevated to a new height, which is the revolutionary friendship of 'carrying guns together, going to the countryside together,' supporting the team, supporting brothers, and the fighting spirit of persisting for oneself. Next, we need to take action to make the team better, so that we, the Tianxing Jiandao, can move forward hand in hand and create brilliance together.

At this moment, I want to say, run, brothers! Run, comrades! Let our team always be strong, let us run together until retirement, run into our seventies, exercise together, drink and eat meat together.

On the road of exercise, having you as a companion; on the road of exercise, countless storms, never wavering.
