On the first day of tryouts(Ñ¡°Î) for the soccer team, the coach told us to run for a warm-up. I could not ¡¡36¡¡ ¡¡for very long. As I struggled to ¡¡37 ¡¡with the team, I found myself falling farther and farther behind until I was the last one to finish. I was so ¡¡38¡¡ ¡¡that I hardly had any strength left to kick the ball!
After the tryouts were over, my ¡¡39¡¡ ¡¡wasn¡¯t on the list. I felt very ashamed. ¡¡40¡¡ ¡¡at the same time, I knew I had to do ¡¡41¡¡ ¡¡to improve my health and fitness. I didn¡¯t want to be ¡¡42¡¡ ¡¡like that again.
When springtime came, I made a big ¡¡43¡¡ ¡¡to sign up for the track and field team. People thought I was ¡¡44¡¡ ¡¡because I ran a slow 11-minute mile in gym class, but I was determined to get into shape and ¡¡45¡¡ ¡¡my mile time. The first day of practice was the ¡¡46¡¡ ¡¡experience I¡¯ve ever had. It was a lot of running for me, ¡¡47¡¡ ¡¡since I decided to participate in the long-distance event.
Fortunately, I wasn¡¯t the only slow runner trying to get into ¡¡48¡¡ . A few others were on the same level as me with a ¡¡49¡¡ ¡¡goal. Day after day we supported and ¡¡50¡¡ ¡¡each other during practices. As the season ¡¡51¡¡ ¡¡by, I found that I could run farther, faster, and without feeling as much ¡¡52¡¡ ¡¡as I used to. One of the happiest moments in my life was the last meeting of the season ¡¡53¡¡ ¡¡my mile time was 9 minutes. I could not ¡¡54¡¡ ¡¡that I had cut my time down by 2 minutes in just one season! It was painful and a lot of work, but the ¡¡55¡¡ ¡¡was definitely worth it. I¡¯ll never forget it.
