When I started riding a bike a couple of years ago, I didn't think my involvement would ever be more serious than the occasional short ride. But as I built strength, my friends 1 me to step up my training and try some longer trips. The first one to come along was a 150-mile trip, the MS-150, an annual 2 that raises money to fight AIDS.

When I registered, the idea seemed fantastic and I trained with 3 . However, as the time for the ride approached, my self-doubts 4 beyond my endurance (忍耐).

If the body is 9 to the mind, here was evidence. Every 10 my brain pushed out seemed to travel right down to my legs. “I can't handle this” became a leg cramp (抽筋), and “Everyone else is a better rider” translated into 11 of breath. I was sure I'd have to 12 .

I 14 that the person looked different in some way, but I couldn't tell why. So I pushed myself to 15 . There she was, riding along slowly but 16 ，with a slight and determined smile on her face and she had only one leg.

My focus changed in that instant. For a whole day I'd been 17 my body. But now I knew it wasn't the body, but the 18 that would help me reach my goal. It rained all the second day. I never saw the one-legged biker again, but I pushed on without 19 ， knowing she was out there with me somewhere.
