Personal Confessions (Cross - Country)

This year's cross - country was an exciting an interesting event as I really had fun there. The competitors who were supposed to run for more than 3km, started off the race first. I was one of the runners in the fun run, and we went after the competitors. Some of the guys, who were the competiors, ran more than 3km and came back in less than twenty minutes! Everyone was amazed and shocked at the speed they ran. When I started running, I realised how rocky the path was at some turns ans sometimes, I had difficulty running and I almost tripped! When I was on the rocky path, I did not feel tired as the air was really fresh in there. As I ran out by the roadside, I felt exhausted and had difficulty breathing. At that moment, I really felt like giving up as I was too tired to run and the air was too stuffy. The encouragement from my friends along the way told me not to give up and upon hearing that I was getting near to the finishing line, I was determined to finish this run quickly and I started to jog as my chest and stomach started to hurt. I even took over my friends who encouraged me earlier on! Soon, I completed the race and I really felt delighted and was proud of myself for not giving up when the race was actually going to end.
