One day my mother saw a(n)39  for a race in a newspaper. “Would you be 40  in entering this race ?” she asked me, pointing to the advertisement.

“Yes, of  course!” I answered.

I spent the next few days practicing for my big race. My sister  41  a table in the backyard so she could supply me with water and  42  me.

Just before the race began, my dad  43  in my ear. “Don’t use up all your energy at the beginning of the race. You need to have energy  44   you can speed up at the end.”

Following Dad’s  45  , I didn’t run as fast as I could. Then the other runners started passing me, which made me  46  . I began to feel tired, and started slowing down and  47   harder.

“Coming on, Kelly! You can do it! Keep running.”

Out of the corner of my  48  I saw Dad running beside me around the outside of the track.

“I can’t do it!” I  49   to say.

“You can! Don’t give up! Keep running!” he called back.

I took a deep breath and tried to  50  forward. Dad continued running beside me, shouting encouraging words.

I came fifth, but I felt like a(n) 51  . I’d done my best, and I hadn’t   52   .

I felt thankful that my dad had  53   left my side. He always  54   me when I feel like giving up. He runs alongside me  55   my life.
