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

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

    　　That first 10 km race was quite an experience．I jogged (慢跑), I walked, I jogged 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 embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him．But then I realized something．He was running his race and I was running mine．How often in life do we compare(比较) ourselves to 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-olds who were still running．

    　　As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself．I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience．
