Our school organises a fun run every May on the last Friday of the month , and this year I decided to join the five - kilometre route through the park . Coach Ellis posted a training plan on Monday , and I started jogging on Tuesday evening at six because the race feels close already . My friend Dan likes running too , and he meets me at the school gate on Wednesdays and Fridays after classes finish at three thirty . We stretch near the field , and we run slow laps because beginners need patience before speed work begins in April . Do you train for sports events at school ? My classmate Eva does not run long distances , but she loves cheering from the bridge when runners pass the halfway mark . She promised to make signs for us , and she asked for our names because banners look better with clear letters . At seven on training days we drink water by the fountain , and Dan checks his watch because he likes tracking time and distance on phone apps . I copy his schedule , and I write notes in a small diary when my legs feel heavy on cold evenings in early spring . Coach Ellis meets the team on Saturdays at nine in the morning on the track near the river . He shows us breathing exercises , and he corrects posture because small habits prevent pain after long sessions . I listen carefully , and I practice at home when homework allows free minutes before dinner . Does Dan like racing against friends ? He does not care about winning first place , but he likes finishing together when possible because shared goals feel motivating . He slowed his pace for me last week , and I thanked him because support matters more than medals at our age . On Sunday evenings I prepare clothes for the next sessions , and I pack snacks in my bag because long runs make me hungry before lunch at school . Mom buys bananas on shopping days , and she reminds me to sleep early on Thursdays when training feels intense . In the final week before the race we reduce distance , and Coach Ellis tells us to rest on Thursday because muscles need recovery before Friday morning . Dan and I walk the course at four , and we note hills because knowing the path reduces fear on race day . When the starter horn sounds at nine on Friday , hundreds of students run together , and parents clap from both sides of the path . I do not feel alone because Dan stays near me , and Eva shouts our names from the bridge when we pass her sign at kilometre three . After the finish we receive medals and fruit , and Coach Ellis congratulates the team because everyone completed the course with effort and good spirit . I like this tradition , and I plan to train again next year when May returns with warmer mornings and green leaves in the park .
