Personal Challenges Read the following stories that people put up on their personal web pages and write the title for each story in your notebook . All the stories are about moments of challenge . 30 / 4 / 0 1 Today I ran my first five-kilometer race . I wanted to prove that I could go the distance . I was so nervous before the race that I felt my legs shaking as I walked across the track . "Debbie , you can do it , " I told myself . The race started , and the runners began running as fast as they could . "Why are they running so fast ? " I thought . "The race is five kilometers long !" But I went with them . I ran side by side with the other runners . I heard someone shout out our time after the first kilometer . Then came the second kilometer . "Come on , you can do it , " I heard the crowd yell . "I can do it , " I said to myself , "I can do it . " I was amazed to see that I was still running with the others . As I neared the finish , the voices ofthe crowd seemed to disappear . I was hot and tired and I began to feel dizzy . My legs shook as I ran up the last hill . My heart was pounding , and I could hardly see . But somehow I reached the finish line and then I collapsed . Someone helped me get to the first aid station . A medic gave me a glass of water and told me , "Drink more next time . " It took me an hour before I began to feel better . Now — twelve hours later —I feel fine and I know that I have done it . I have gone the distance .
