Cindy was preparing to run a marathon. A marathon was 26 miles. It would require a lot of practice. She decided to practice before the marathon. She started out with running 5 miles a day. Each day she added 1 mile. Soon she was running 26 miles. She was ready now.

 

She prepared for the day. She ate healthy. She had cereal in the morning. She had a salad for lunch. She had chicken and rice for dinner. She also ate protein bars. The 26 miles would take a lot of energy. On the day of the marathon she wore comfortable running shoes. She made sure to wear athletic clothes.
