Here it is – I can see the line.





I hear the tough tone in my coach’s voice that I was waiting for.





It is my motivation -that’s what I needed.




Now it is time to really move.

Head up, heart pumping,




my legs are Jell-O.





I feel the pain but





I crave the victory and praise that feels like Christmas morning.

Thoughts running through my head-I’m already so tired but there is only 20 more seconds.




Push harder, dig deeper




leave it all out on the course.











Whooosh - through the line.




This moment is a drug




it makes me feel alive.




This is a runner’s rave.
