I began to like running when I was young. I like running with my father and sister around the garden.

One day, my mother saw an advertisement for a running match in a newspaper. “Would you be interested in the match?” she asked me. “Yes, of course.” I answered.

 I spent the next few days practicing for the match. My sister put a table in the garden, so she could give me water and time me.

On the day of the match, I arrived early. Just before the match began, my father whispered in my ear, “Don’t use up all your energy at the beginning of the match. You need to have energy so you can run faster in the end.”

The match began soon. Following Dad’s advice, I didn’t run as fast as I could. The other runners started passing me. I began to feel nervous and tired. I started slowing down. Then I heard. “Come on, Kelly! You can do it.” I saw my dad running beside me around the outside of the track (跑道). “I can not do it, daddy!” I answered. “I can’t do it!” “Yes, you can. Don’t give up. Keep running.” he called back. I tried my best to run faster. Dad went in running beside me and shouting.

It would be nice to end this story by saying that I won the match, but I didn’t. But I felt like a winner. I did my best and I didn’t give up. Later, as I thought about the match, I felt thankful that my dad had never left my side. He always shouts when I feel like giving up. He runs alongside me through my life.
