IV. Choose the best answer.
When I injured my back, I had to take a break from my running career. I decided to introduce
more women to the sport, to show them how much fun it can be and to give them the confidence
to get out and run. I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed
by the attitude of many race organizers. They complain about the lack of women in the sport but
also use this as an excuse for not providing separate changing facilities.
I put up posters and 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined. All of them were attracted by
the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had really thought about running before. When or
if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn’t think of chatting and smiling while
running in beautiful places, like by a river.
At first, they ran for only a minute – now they can run for thirty minutes. They have also learned
from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general. I want to do something for women’s
running and I have had so much pleasure watching their progress – almost as much as they have
had themselves.
