精彩的小故事

Hello, it's Annabeth! Here's a story that I've heard, that really made me think.

There's a guy in my class, let's call him Jayden. He's one of the fastest runners in the school, and I really admire his skills: He just pushes himself forward when he runs, very unlike the quiet boy sitting in class. 

I can really feel his energy blowing off him, from the way his long slim legs moved, and his quick yet steady breathing. He really knows how to run.

I used to think that he's just good at it. But then, as I get to know him better as time passes, I realize that this was the product of his very hard work.

During weekends, he would often go on ten km runs, around the Soho near his home, or at a park. I was instantly jealous, because I never had a lot of time to do this sort of thing, but I also knew that it was his perseverance, more than just his time. 

Well, I didn't notice how he always disappeared after he runs anyway.

One time when I accompanied a friend to the nurse's office, I caught him just collapsed on a chair, calling his parents, the nurse testing his heart rate and blood pressure.

To my great surprise, his heart rate was still at about 200, twenty minuets after the boys finished their running. 

I was like 'What the heck？！'

I really respect him for working so hard, even if sometimes his body doesn't allow it. Though we should put our health first, I understand the way he feels. 

So here it is, a month after it's due. Hope you like it～
