when time slows down.

This isn't a sprint event. it's an endurance race.
It ain't how you start. but how you finish.

sometimes each step gets heavier than the last. but time and again, when you lift up your head,
and look towards the finish line
you get into stride again
and something in you gives your legs strength
to keep going
forward
and may we run this race
in a manner that we yearn for the prize
help each other along the way
pick up the runners that fall alongside you
that we may all run this race
and finish
together

This isn't a sprint event. it's an endurance race.
It ain't how you start. but how you finish.
