Question

Four years ago, I felt lucky after escaping one of those terrible 2-mile runs. I hated ; it was just something that came easily to me. At that time, if you had told me that I would one day run a marathon, I’d have told you in all honesty that I had a better of winning the lottery（彩票）.

The turning came when I met Mrs. Green. She was fifty years old, going through chemotherapy(化學療法)for her cancer, and still to run 30 miles a week. I that if Mrs. Green could run 6 miles at a time, I could run at least two. In February, in cold weather, I started to walk a 2-mile around my neighborhood. Two months later, I the whole route, running for the first time. I felt exhausted, I felt happy.

Over the next several years, I continued to push each run for a few minutes, slowly building my endurance(耐力). I didn’t need to against other runners, for my most important competitor was myself.

After continuing to myself, I knew it was time to step my training up. I I would train for the Detroit Free Press/ Flagstar Marathon.

The race day came and I was filled with excitement and worry. It was the final time to see what I was made of. The ended up incredibly. I did through the last few miles, but after my journey, there was no doubt in my mind that I’d finished. As I the finish line, I experienced the strongest sense of and happiness I had ever had in my life. I am now a marathoner.

As John Bingham once said, “The isn’t that I finished. The miracle(奇跡) is that I had the to start.”
