I used to hate running. In secondary school, I found it really tiring to run and I was always one of the1 students to cross the finish line. Then, in 2023, my friend asked me 2 I would like to run a 10K event with him. I answered without thinking, "No way! I hate running."
Over the weekend, I3 his question. "Why do I hate running when I haven't tried it since Year 7 in secondary school?" In the end, I decided I should give running another4 before I said I hated it. I told my friend I would like to go to the 10K event with him. He was happy to hear that I would5 him. He advised me to look on the Internet for a running program to help me learn 6 to run.
There were lots of running programs on the Internet. I7 a 14-week running program that would teach me how to run for 30 minutes non-stop. I enjoyed following the program as I could see8 in my running each week. I went from hating running to loving running!
On the day of the 10K running event, my friends and father came to 9 for me. With their support(支持) and my training, I finished the 10K in 72 minutes. It was difficult, but I felt very proud for having tried it. From this 10 , I learned that it is a good idea to try something before saying you hate it!
