Tina was the best speed-walking partner I could ever meet. But I could never understand my friend's habit of ________ while we walked.

Together we walked all over the town and even entered a marathon(馬拉松）together，a full 26 miles, but she did give me a list to take with me. She told me that it ________ her a lot. I thought it would just slow us down. I ________ it along to the starting line. Twenty-six cheering ideas, one for every mile. I wasn’t really planning to slow myself down with all those ideas but I didn’t want to hurt Tina’s feelings, so I kept her ________ .

I walked the first mile of the ________ in 12 minutes—a new personal record. I looked at Tina’s cheering list when I checked my watch. ________ was simply Yourself. It did give me a good start to the race, I thought. I thanked Tina for her cheering list. If I finished the race, I would thank her for the ________ she gave me. By the time I finished the second mile, my husband and kids were cheering me on. It just so happened that “ ________ ” was the next one on Tina’s cheering list. I had lots of things to be ready for them.

The next mile flew by, then the next and the next, each with a cheering idea. But by the time I neared the final mile? I was nearly out of breath. “I don’t know if I can ________ the last mile,” I thought. In despair(絕望）I looked at the final cheering idea on Tina’s list，now sweaty in my hand: You just can make it!
