How Running Helped Me T\irn My Life Around

I've never been an athlete. Aside from excelling at all academic disciplines at school, my main goal was to 11 PE at all costs. In my twenties, I went for an occasional yoga or Zumba class, but that was really the summary of all my athletic accomplishments.

That was until the end of 2016, when I was unexpectedly laid off. The 12 of getting a new job soon were not in my favor and 13 thoughts of not being good enough started to kick in. I was feeling quite depressed but pushed myself to go and 14 for the TCS NYC Marathon runners as the course was going through our neighborhood.

However, while being there, I got phenomenal 15 from all the runners, smiling, applauding and high-fiving constantly. Not a runner myself, I thought maybe I could give running a 16 , just to try, to use my neglected gym membership and see where it 17 me. And so I tried. I went to my local gym the next morning and got on a treadmill （跑步机）.I was out of breath by minute five, but I

18 down, walked for a bit and then restarted. I came back the next day, hoping to 19 a few minutes longer. By the end of two weeks, I could run for 30 minutes, which was a huge 20 .

While I saw my body starting to look more toned, I also noticed my negative thoughts didn't occur that 21 And it sparked a thought—what if I could set a running 22 and sign up for my first- ever race? I did and races sort of became a new hobby.

In the meantime, I was able to 23 a few freelance （自由职业的）projects. They offered me a good 24 , and, most importantly, the time to work out for the big race. Also, when I was going for interviews, I started to feel very 25 in my abilities, experience and skills.

I got my full-time job 26 at my dream company just a couple of weeks before the halfmarathon. Although I got an 27 from overtraining right before the race, I still went for it and still finished within my

28 time.

I still have a long running 29 ahead of me—I'd love to work on my speed, my technique and I dream of running a marathon outside of the US. Running gives me 30 that I can do anything I set my mind to.
