I’d like to talk about a time when I won a marathon race. It was about three years ago, and I had decided that even though I had no experience in the running, I would attempt to train for it in eight months. It was a huge challenge for a new hand, but I dedicated myself to it, running almost every day.
The competition was held at my university. I invited my family and friends to cheer me up. It was a Sunday. Though the weather was cold, that my hands went numb waiting to start running. The sunrise was warm and friendly, and I felt excited and emotional. I can’t describe how I felt seeing the finish line materialize on the horizon. That was truly the hardest thing I’d ever accomplished.
When it comes to what I did to win it, well, it is not that easy. When the day of the marathon arrived, I still wasn’t sure if I could finish it. I had gotten injured at some point, and my training had really declined, but I still wanted to give it my best shot. For me, on a personal level, just finishing the marathon would be a tremendous victory.
Winning a prize is enjoying. I got a medal at the end and felt proud of myself. My family members and my friends were also happy with my success. However, to be frank, I was in a lot of pain for about a week as my feet and legs recovered from the exertion.
