The Marathon Runner

The-Marathon-Runner

Gary woke up at 4 a.m. every morning and went running. He was building his speed and stamina, so that he might participate in this year’s marathon! There were still six months to the event, but he wanted to be well prepared. One day, while running, Gary tripped over a loose pebble and fractured his foot. His foot was in a cast, and he could no longer run. He was very upset and hardly spoke to anyone anymore. One day, Gary was moving through the supermarket on his crutches, when he saw a boy snatch an old lady’s purse and dash away. Immediately, Gary followed him. Though he was on crutches, he was still faster than the thief! Within minutes, he had tripped the boy using the crutches, and retrieved the purse. From that day, Gary became more hopeful and positive. When the cast was removed, he started training again, and was able to run in the marathon after all!
