Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.
When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.
I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.
On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles. I was thinking, I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking? And at one moment, I said to myself, I am never doing this again!
That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged(慢跑),I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didnt know if I could finish.
Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed(尴尬的)that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldnt even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare(比较)ourselves to others when we really shouldnt? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-old men who were still running.
As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didnt regret(后悔)having such an experience.
