Learning to Run

I hated running at secondary school. I found it very tiring to run around the sports field, and I was always the last student to cross the finish line. Then, in the first year at college, my friend asked me if I would like to run a 10K event（ 项 目 ）with him. My immediate answer was, \running.\

But later I thought, \ to give running another try. I told my friend I would like to 3 the 10K event. He was pleased to hear that. He advised me to look for a running program on the Internet to learn how to run.

There were lots of running 4 on the Internet. I chose one that would last for 14 weeks. I had to run three times a week for different periods（ 时 段 ）of time. At the beginning I ran for short periods and had long breaks in between. Then as the weeks went on, I had to run for 5 periods and the breaks in between got shorter.

I enjoyed following the running program because I could see 6 in my running each week. I went from not being able to run for more than 30 seconds to running for over 30 minutes! I went from hating running to loving running!

On the day of the 10K running event I was both excited and 7 . I could hear my heart beating. It was time to put my new skills into practice. My friends and family came to support me. I managed to finish the 10k in 72 minutes. It was hard but I felt very proud for having tried it.

From this 8 I learnt it was a good idea to try something before saying I hated it! It turned out that I really enjoyed running. I went on to do another 10K, an 8K and a half marathon. Today I still enjoy running.
