Tom had been training for months for the upcoming marathon. On the
day of the race, he arrived at the starting line raring to go.
The runners set off at a quick pace, and Tom was able to keep up
with the lead pack for the first few miles. However, as the race
progressed, Tom began to feel tired and his legs started to ache.
Despite the pain, Tom dug deep and pushed himself to keep
going. He refused to give up, even when the runners around him
started to pull ahead. With the finish line in sight, Tom summoned
the last of his energy and sprinted to the end. He had nailed it! |
