So I would like to talk about a school running competition which was organized by my high school. That was the first year when I studied in my high school. At the end of the year, the school usually had a sport competition. My class chose me to participate in their running session. It was held in a stadium near my school which is usually used for sport events. I felt a bit worried at first because I have never been in a running race before. When I was standing on the ground, my legs were shaking. As soon as I heard the whistle, I started running. After 10 seconds, my body, especially my legs, were quite tired and painful. I couldn’t stop because other runners were still going. Seeing them continue was a motivation for me to keep going. After a while, I was left in their training.
