My heart was beating rapidly in my chest as I found a shady place to rest my tired body. My cheeks were red, and I could hear myself breathing heavily as I looked up at the blue sky. When my breathing returned to normal, I reflected on what had just been achieved. Six weeks ago, my friends told me that a city half-marathon for amateurs was being organized to help raise money for charity, and encouraged me to take part. Despite my lack of running experience, I agreed. In order not to hurt my knees or ankles, I started my training very gently by running just one kilometre on the first day.
当我找到一个阴凉的地方休息我疲惫的身体时,我的心在我的胸膛里狂跳。我的脸颊通红,抬头望着蓝天,我能听到自己沉重的呼吸。当我的呼吸恢复正常时,我回想起刚刚取得的成就。六周前,我的朋友告诉我,为了筹集慈善资金,正在为业余爱好者组织一场城市半程马拉松,并鼓励我参加。尽管我缺乏跑步经验,我还是同意了。为了不伤到膝盖和脚踝,我开始训练时非常温和,第一天只跑了一公里。
Over the next six weeks, I gradually increased the distance I ran in each training session and also made sure to allow my body enough time to rest and recover after each run. Soon I was running distances I had never thought possible. The day of the half-marathon finally arrived and I felt well prepared. I ate a hearty breakfast so I knew I could get through to the end. I ran my race relaxed and confident, even though my limits were being tested like never before. I was happy to learn that a lot of money had been raised for charity. I felt really proud of myself, and my friends and I agreed to run in the next city marathon!
在接下来的六个星期里,我逐渐增加了每次训练的距离,也确保每次跑步后让我的身体有足够的时间休息和恢复。很快我就跑出了我从未想过的距离。半程马拉松比赛的日子终于到了,我觉得自己准备得很充分。我吃了一顿丰盛的早餐,所以我知道我能坚持到最后。我轻松而自信地跑完比赛,尽管我的极限受到了前所未有的考验。得知为慈善事业筹集了很多钱,我很高兴。我真的为自己感到骄傲,我和我的朋友们同意参加下一届城市马拉松!
