You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off your face.    ~Gatorade adWhat a mistake. Starting in the back of a large race with the walkers and joggers left me in a mile-long human traffic jam. Running through a wide green valley in the Ogden Half Marathon in Utah, I already felt a sense of loss. And it was still only mile 1.I started at the back of the pack to keep my nieces company. I thought I could work my way up to the two-hour pacer who was holding a bright orange sign. But at the end of the first mile, I was still stuck between joggers and walkers, trying to work my way through the crowd. The pacer had left me far behind.The two-hour half marathon had been a goal I’d chased for years. Between giving birth to five children, I’d done lots of half marathons and gotten decent times: 2:05, 2:08, 2:02. But the elusive sub-two-hour evaded me.This was my year to blow away that goal. I’d been training hard for that distance and that time. I’d done the speed work and gone overboard on long distance by training for the full marathon. My goal time was within my grasp. This was my race. But in the back of my mind, I knew my time in the first few miles was critical. And that first mile wasn’t nearly fast enough.To make up for the lost time, I would need to go faster than I had trained for the remaining 12 miles of the race — a rookie mistake I had learned not to repeat long ago. It’s a recipe for burnout and failure. Today, of all days, I did not want to fail.During the second mile, I finally worked my way out of the joggers in the back. I found a clear lane and plodded forward, determined to finish strong. Self-doubt gnawed at me as I saw the two-hour pacer dip over a distant snow-capped hill. I wondered if I would ever see the pace group again.That’s when a silvery braid bounced by me. Going a little faster than my current pace, a woman about my height and build strode away. Her tanned skin showed the flawsand wrinkles that years of endurance training bring. She was probably 20 years my senior. And there she was, stepping away from me in my race.I wondered how long she had prepared for this event. Months? Years? This was clearly not her first half marathon. I felt it also wouldn’t be her last. I found myself accelerating to match her even strides. I imagined reaching out to hold that braid like a guide rope. If I could hang on with her, I would finish strong.Near the fourth mile, what felt like a miracle occurred. My silver-braided companion and I caught up to the two-hour pace group. I relaxed, happy to be with the right crowd. But she did not. She passed through the two-hour group, surgingsteadily ahead of them.Something in my heart was still attached to her flowing braid. I followed her, knowing even if I slowed near the race’s end, the pacer was behind me and I could still make my goal. Coming down a craggy, rock-lined canyon, she ran even faster. I followed, drafting in her wake.Miles blurred together, and the canyon leveled out to a broad river path winding toward the finish. Around mile 10, the increase in crowd support inspired me to pick up my pace. The disco music at the water stop really got me going. I caught a second wind. Silver Braid was slowing. I passed her as the music filled the air around us.Mile 11, with the music behind me, I felt the sadness in my poor, tired legs. Glancing at my watch, I was thrilled to be far ahead of my projected training time. But I also felt the strain of the additional speed. I had outpaced my training. I was getting to the end of my endurance. My body hit a wall.Silver Braid passed me again. She gave me a thumbs-up and said something encouraging my exhausted mind didn’t process. Praising her steadiness, I fell in behind her. My focus was still on the end of her braid.Mile 12 was the hardest mile. Knowing the finish line was close, but feeling the aching strain of prolonged effort, I was tempted to walk. But just then, new inspiration found me. A college-age girl from the crowd started shouting and running ahead of us.“Go, Ann! That’s my mom!” the girl shouted. “Keep it up, Ann!”Silver Braid had a daughter and a name. If Ann could keep going, so could I.The thought crossed my mind that maybe someone behind me was watching my brown braid, needing my strength. A chain of runners stretched ahead of me and behind me. We pulled each other along.I crossed the finish line a full 10 minutes faster than my old personal record and eight minutes faster than my goal. 1:52! Looking at my watch, I could barely believe it. It was more than I had hoped for. But I couldn’t take credit for it. I ran the race borrowing strength from Ann.Ann finished a few seconds ahead of me. She hugged her cheering daughter and then turned to embrace me. She said my persistence had inspired her. I know her steadiness carried me.That day, Ann gave me something that she didn’t know she was handing out. She gave me an example of fortitude. Hard days and slow miles come to all of us, but we keep running. If we draw on the people around us, we can all finish strong. 【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。1.braid [breɪd] n.______________________2.pacer [ˈpeɪsə] n.______________________3.chase [tʃeɪs] v.______________________4.elusive [iˈluːsɪv] adj.______________________5.evade [ɪˈveɪd] vt.______________________6.overboard [ˈəʊvəbɔːd] adv.______________________7.go overboard______________________8.rookie [ˈrʊkɪ] n.______________________9.lane [leɪn] n.______________________10.plod [plɒd] v.______________________11.gnawed [nɔː] v.______________________  gnaw at______________________12.dip [dɪp] v.______________________13.snow-capped [ˈsnəʊ kæpt] adj.______________________14.stride   [straɪd] vi./n.______________________15.tanned [tænd] adj.______________________16.flaw [flɔː] n.______________________17.endurance [ɪnˈdjʊərəns] n______________________18.accelerate [əkˈseləreɪt] v.______________________19.miracle [ˈmɪrəkl] n.______________________20.surging [sɜːdʒ] vi.______________________21.steadily ['stedɪlɪ] adv.______________________22.craggy [ˈkræɡi] adj.______________________23.canyon [ˈkænjən] n.______________________24.blur [blɜː(r)] v.______________________25.thrilled [θrɪld] adj.______________________26.strain [streɪn] n.______________________27.outpaced [ˌaʊtˈpeɪs] vt______________________28.exhausted [ɪɡˈzɔːstɪd] adj.______________________29.steadiness [ˈstedinis]  n.______________________30.strain [streɪn] n.______________________31.prolonged [prəˈlɒŋd] adj.______________________32.tempted [ˈtemptɪd] adj.______________________33.embrace [ɪmˈbreɪs] v._____________________34.persistence [pəˈsɪstəns] n.______________________35.fortitude [ˈfɔːtɪtjuːd] n.______________________【句子学习】请根据中文句子填空。㈠动作描写1.
