Last Saturday, I took part in a 5km running race with some friends. It was a really a challege to me. I am happy that I finished the whole race without walking a step. When I first started running, I felt full of energy. After few minutes, I started to feel exhausted and wanted to stop running. While I kept telling myself that I can do it, just keep on running. I tried to look at the scene along the road, trying to distract myself fron the tired feeling. Soon I saw a mark saying that I had finished 2km. I encouraged myself and kept on running. I did not know how many minutes had passed when I came across the women who stood on the side of the path, encouraging us and telling us that only 1 km left. On hearing this, I felt reflesh and speeded up until I passed the finishing line. When I was in high school, I always failed the PE exam. However, I finished the race this time. I felt proud of myself and I knew that I can succeed if I try my best.
I'm proud of you. We all need encouragement when we get tired, whether it is running a race or learning English.
