Run, run, run
Don't go to fast
Until the final sprint

Run, run, run
As I stand watching, snapping pictures
The cold killing my fingers

Run, run, run
26 miles, 39?F, 50,000 runners
Listening to the cheers

Run, run, run until you can't

This was written after the 2013 NYC marathon, also the first really cold day of the season.
