The. Deadly. Mile.
April 1, 2009
The Deadly Mile.
Run.
Run.
Run.
Run.
Four entire Laps.
It hurts.
It burns.
You want.
To Stop.
But, You can't.
If you quit.
You quit.
Yourself.
Don't do that.
Don't beat yourself.
Because if you can.
Then.
So can everyone else.
Don't.
Let THEM pass you.
Especially on the last lap.
The Last Lap.
Sprint.
Run your heart out.
And then, Finish.
Run.
Run.
Run.
Run,Finish.
The Mile.
