run a marathon

I was participating in a 5k with only a few (like less than 10) participants. We were running on a track, with a lot of spectators. I knew I was going to be pretty slow, and have to stop every now and then to walk. I suddenly decided that I should run in shorts rather than my underwear, so I ran back to the dorm to get them. The run to the dorm and back was a hard, fast run and it felt GREAT. Of course, though, when I got back they had put me out of the race for being gone. I ran away from that race telling my friends, “It’s okay, I’m going to be able to run MARATHONS.” The running felt pretty darn good :)
