Gabby says... A time I tried to obtain something was one of my goals. My goal was to be in shape but that didn't happen. It was really hard but my reputation was happy! I always try to persevere when I run but I get really tired. I am very elated when I finish running because I'm not used to running. I have ambition to workout.
