In fact，I wouldn't have become a （1）AA if it weren't for my husband Charles．He had been a serious competitive runner for many years．After our marriage，he wouldn't stop talking about how much he missed it．
"So start running again，why don't you？" I was getting （2）BB of hearing about it．

"You'll be fine．You've got less than a kilometer to go．"
I rounded a corner and saw both sides of the street thick with people watching the race，all cheering the runners on．I willed my legs to keep going．
Then I looked up and saw the clock．The seconds ticking away（一分一秒地過去） gave me an incentive（助力）．I knew that if I finished this race，I would have achieved something．So，I straightened up，and kicked it．
I had my arms held higher when I passed （12）DDthe finish line．A volunteer put a （13）CC around my neck．
"You did great!I'm so proud of you!" Charles was thrilled that I'd （14）BB it．
