解析
本题主要考查词汇的正确形式运用，涉及动名词、表语从句引导词、名词单复数、动词时态、冠词、形容词比较级、副词、虚拟语气以及代词等知识点。解题时需要根据句子的语法结构、上下文语境以及固定搭配来确定每个空应填的内容。
- 第1空：
- 考查“regret”的用法。“regret not doing”是固定结构，表示“后悔未做某事”，这里需要动名词作宾语。
- 所以横线处应填“doing”。
- 第2空：
- 考查表语从句的引导词。“that was...”后面是一个表语从句，横线处的词在从句中作“do”的宾语，指代“我想要做的事情”。
- “what”可以引导表语从句并在从句中作宾语，所以填“what”。
- 第3空：
- 考查名词的单复数。“thing”是可数名词，这里泛指“各种事情/训练内容”，需要用复数形式。
- 故填“things”。
- 第4空：
- 考查动词时态。文章整体叙述的是过去的经历，所以动词要用过去式。
- “join”的过去式是“joined”，因此填“joined”。
- 第5空：
- 考查冠词的用法。“excellent”是以元音音素 /e/ 开头的单词，在其前面要用不定冠词“an”。
- 所以填“an”。
- 第6空：
- 考查形容词的比较级。根据“than”可知，这里要用“good”的比较级。
- “good”的比较级是“better”，故填“better”。
- 第7空：
- 考查条件状语从句的引导词。“I wanted to take part in such a big race”是一个假设的条件，“I had to be willing to try”是在这个条件下的结果。
- “if”可以引导条件状语从句，表示“如果”，所以填“if”。
- 第8空：
- 考查副词的用法。“run”是动词，需要用副词来修饰，表示动作的频率。
- “regular”的副词形式是“regularly”，因此填“regularly”。
- 第9空：
- 考查虚拟语气。“wish”后面接宾语从句时，如果表示对过去的虚拟，从句要用“had + 过去分词”的形式。
- “run”的过去分词是“run”，所以填“had run”。
- 第10空：
- 考查代词的用法。这里的代词指代前文提到的“跑步/马拉松这项运动”。
- “it”可以指代前面提到的事物，“give it a try”是固定搭配，表示“试一试”，所以填“it”。
