I asked him, "Must I run every day? "He answered, "No, you needn’t. You can run three times a week.” After about a year, I started to join him at the track.

I was already breathing heavily and painfully aware of the group of runners passing by me and Charles was trying to encourage me and to get me focused on something except my discomfort. I had to continue to run.

I felt so 8 (exhaust)but I tried to keep my legs going. I knew that if I actually finished this race, I would have achieved something. So, I straightened up and went on.

Finally I managed 9 (pass)through the finish line. A volunteer put a medal around my neck. I proudly held my medal, walking to the post-race celebrations with Charles. Some reporters even expressed their sincere 10 (admire) for us. My lungs and my comfort zone both expanded.

How Running Helped Me Turn My Life Around

I've never been an athlete. In my twenties, I went for an occasional yoga class, but that was really the summary of all my athletic accomplishments.

That was until the end of 2016, 1 I was unexpectedly laid off. I was feeling quite depressed but pushed myself to go and cheer for the TCS NYC Marathon runners as the course was going through our neighborhood.

However, while 2 (be) there, I got lots of energy from all the runners, smiling and applauding. Not a runner myself, I thought maybe I 3 give running a try just to use my neglected gym membership and see where it takes me. And so I tried. I went to my local gym the next morning and got on a treadmill（跑步机）. I was out of breath my minute five, but I slowed down, 4 (walk) for a bit and then restarted. I came back the next day, hoping to last a few minutes 5 (long). By the end of two weeks, I could run for 30 minutes, which was a huge success.

While I saw my body starting to look more toned, I also noticed my negative thoughts didn't occur that frequently. And it sparked a thought -- what if I could set a running goal and sign up for my first - ever race? I did and races became a new hobby.

6 the meantime, I was able to acquire a few freelance（自由职业的）projects. They offered me a good income, and, most importantly, the time 7 (work) out for the big race. Also, when I was going for interviews, I started to feel very confident of my abilities, experience and skills.

I got my full-time job offer at my dream company just a couple of weeks before the half marathon. 8 I got an injury from over-training right before the race, I still went for it and still finished within my 9 (expect) time.

I still have a long running journey ahead of me -- I'd love to work on my speed, my technique and I dream of running a marathon outside of the US. Running gives me faith 10 I can do anything I set my mind to.
