Chinese marathon runner completes 100 marathons in 100 days BEIJING, July 11(Xinhua)-Chinese marathon runner star Chen Penbin completed his last run of the 100 marathons in 100 days in Beijing on Friday.Chen started his journey from Guangzhou on April 2, and ran all the way through Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu,Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin until he arrived at the final stop of Beijing.He was the first person in China to finish 100 marathons in 100 days.By running 100 marathons, Chen expected to arouse more Chinese people to go in for sports for their health.He said, “As we all know, life lies in movement.I saw people run after me in every marathon in the past 100 days.Many of them gave me five and supported me.I believe I can inspire(鼓舞) more to take exercise every day.” Running 4,219.5km in 100 days is incredible (难以置信的) for all of us.You not only need a healthy body but also strong will of persistence (坚持).Chen also wanted to prove that persistence is the only way to success.“Persistence is what has continued to push me forward.I'm really happy that I can achieve this.Some said I'm a stubborn man by doing this-it's not a good word to describe a person.But I do believe that if you want to do something great, you have to be stubborn and to be persistent,” said the 37-year-old man with a big smile on his face. *.The passage is probably from________.
