9/12/2016 Under the lovely morning sun, after the organizer brandished the flag in his hand and fired the starter pistol. The runners jostled each other and started to race towards the finishing line, I was one of them. I ran as fast as my leg can carry me. The wind that brushed my face thrilled me. After a mile, I started panting; I felt my legs were heavier. More and more runners caught up me, bypassed me and overtook me. One by one they disappeared from my eye-sight. From the tar road, the route extended into a woodland, where the track became bumpier. The golden sunlight spilled through the slit of the leaves. A cacophony of insects and birds welcomed me into their territories. I was not in the mood to enjoy this. I lumbered through woodland. I could felt my lung was about to burst, my legs were going to give way. The track led me to a beach. The beach stretched like an undulating canvas with a trail of footsteps imprint on it. At this time, I had no sight of other runners. Volunteers along the track cheered me up. My foot sank into the sand again and again and difficult to lift them up. I floundered along the beach. My body mass was pressing me down, I felt I was walking on a high-gravity planet. Finally, I reached the finishing line, I realized I was one of the last persons who arrived. All the T-shirt was collected, except for XXL size, which is too big for my petite body. I guess this is my last attempt for a marathon. I kept the oversized T-shirt for a souvenir.

Good job! You should be proud of your run - just finishing is more than most people can do.  Nice and descriptive writing, just watch out for words that should be plural.

*or, .... caught up to, bypassed and overtook me.

Very well written! I hope you run some more marathons. Or at least 5km.
