I put on weight (变胖）and it made me feel worse about myself．I found it was much harder to begin to run again after a few years than it used to be and I tried my best through even the shortest, slowest jog．
I was out in a run the other day and I had almost decided to give up before I heard someone say ,“You can do it ! It's hard ,but you can do it !”there was a lady walking the other way and had the biggest smile on her face．
Those words encouraged me at a time when I was ready to give up．I finished my run and now every time I feel like giving up ,I can “hear”her encouragement．
