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, they 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 1 could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had a little running practice. I just wanted to finish.

On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 kilometres , 1 was thinking, “Why did I do this?’ And at one moment ,I said to myself,“I am never doing this again!”

That first 10km race was quite an experience. I ran slowly, I walked, I ran slowly and walked. At times,I didn’t know if I could finish.

Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little shamed that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn't even keep up with him. But then 1 realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves with others when we really shouldn't? 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 didn't regret having such an experience.
