A step on
the ground
One up, one down
A new hope
is found
Miles ahead
I see a future
Yet now it feels like sheer torture
I could
stop
Do it later
Perhaps
I’ll think a little straighter
It was
happening again
The
barriers were in, jailing my mind
Crippling
me blind
Go away, these roads are mine
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I need my
throne
I want to
be free, just let me run
All I want
is to have some fun
Five k
later, I do feel warmer
Puffs of
humid smog inhale
Warm clouds
of vapour exhale
Controlling
my breath
Caressing
the sun
My legs
feel lighter
I welcome the fighter
Don’t run
too fast
You could
end up last
Don’t
crash, don’t burn
Don’t
speed, it's not your turn
Ten k
later, my glass half full
Beads of
sweat
Oh sweet
nectar of merit
My gears
have shifted
I’m feeling
some strain
A little
pain
Restore
your energies
Refuel your
mind
Respond to
your body
Enrich your
spirit
Be gentle,
be kind
Fifteen k
later, five to go
Rock and
roll baby
Power and
glory
Arms and
legs in sync with my mind
A spiritual
transcendence
A
harmonious ride
The final
stretch
My limits
outstretched
Agony flows
through my veins
I’ve lost
myself, I’m going insane
Swelling
fingers
Burning
blisters
Elastic
muscles clamping in
Delirious
needles torment from within
Don’t stop
No run, no
walk, just jog
Last k,
adrenalin kicks in
How far I
have come, it’s just sunk in
Two months
of training
Relentless
running
Each k
tells a story
This last
one leads to glory
