Dear Running

Dear running,

We have a love hate relationship. 

I hate the 

Pre--race nervousness right

Before the gun goes off, 

The burning sensation in my calves, 

My lungs telling me to stop. 

But yet, I somehow crave all of it. 

I love the feeling of 

Crossing the finish line

Knowing I gave it my all. 

I love my when my  teammates, coaches, and parents 

Cheer me on the final stretch

Of the race. 

I love the things this sport

Has taught me; 

Never give in to that voice 

Inside your head telling you to

Give up. 

Keep going and push through, 

No matter how hard things get. 

Because if you give up now,

You’ll regret it
