So I would like to talk about a school running competition that was organized by my high school. That was the first year I studied in my high school. At the end of the year, the school usually had a sports competition. My class chose me to participate in the running event. It was held in a stadium near my school, which is usually used for sports events. I felt a bit worried at first because I had never been in a running race before. When I was standing on the starting line, my legs were shaking. As soon as I heard the whistle, I started running. After 10 seconds, my body, especially my legs, felt 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 behind in their training.

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.
