The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see. The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared. My mother managed to live through the operation. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared.

It also can be a lot of fun! But if you want to become a beginner, you should plan carefully. First, make sure that you have a good and comfortable pair of running shoes. You can find a pair easily in any sports store. Then be sure to run in a safe place. City parks are good. So are country roads. If possible, go to some schools with running tracks (跑道). If you run on a track, its easy to know how many miles youve run. A lap (一圈) on the track at most high schools is 400 metres long. Thats almost a quarter of a mile, so four laps equal about one mile. Finally, you should learn to run in a right way. The first week, run one minute, and then walk for six minutes. Keep running a minute and walking six minutes until youve been at it for about 30 minutes in total. Each week, increase (增加) the length of the running time (two minutes the second week, three minutes the third week), and reduce the walking time. Soon youll be running for the whole 30 minutes. Now lace up (用带子束紧) your running shoes and join the millions of runners. To be a beginner to runGet startedBuy a good pair of running shoes.
