跑6 x 400m时,要求按跑5K的速度跑。我没记住去年4月份跑5K的配速,就用了7:30的pace跑,当时感觉这个速度正好,既需要努力跑,也不致于太辛苦。但是,ATP主教练Mark却一直催我加快、加油。跑6 x 100m冲刺训练时,我对自己跑100m冲刺的配速一无所知,就凭感觉跑。我觉得已经尽力了,但是,主教练Mark又觉得我没有尽力。他居然亲自来助跑,陪我跑了最后4个100m冲刺训练,累得我上气不接下气。他却说:“这就对了,这样训练你的速度才能提高。你有潜力,还有不小的提高空间。”
星期五下班回到家取信,收到好友Jim母校寄来的有关以Jim命名奖学金的合同。终于,我们将Jim留给我家的钱有了更好和更合适的用途。大概是因为那封信的影响,星期五夜里梦到Jim将他在美国各地的亲人包括我的全家召集到他在St Louis的家,与我们一一告别。梦中没有梦到他留给我家10万美元,用于付我家女儿H的教育费用。只是梦到他眼中含着泪花先是与我的先生拥抱告别,然后与我拥抱告别,最后与我家女儿拥抱告别。他看着H的神情是那样慈祥,而梦中没梦到女儿当时看着她“St Louis Grandpa”的神情。只记得我自己也是含着泪花、依依不舍,但是没有哀嚎哭泣,而是相信必会在天家重逢。至于怎样从梦中醒来已经记不清了。
