A choice a race, a time and a place, It is up to you to keep up the pace.

In the middle of the marathon you must decide if you are going to go the distance or step aside.

Once you commit there is no turning back, it a long road ahead that you must attack.

The timing and training all comes to a point of truth, it is all up to you, your strength and youth.

A marathon is extremely an long way, it is a lot of work to make it through no matter what they say.

If someone says they ran a marathon look into their eyes, you should be able to see the truth or see through their lies.

Mile after mile your feet pound the ground, you wonder if in the end you will still be around.

I wanted to quit so bad they often say, they battle their will for it is the course they must stay.

Once completed they stop and say while I did it, of course in the next breath they talk about the pain, yes they admit.

26 miles 385 yards, you run for your life this is not a game of cards.

Your stomach is in a knot your muscles start to shake, your body is in pain, it is something you cannot fake.

Then you see the finish line you made it at last, all that hard work and training has paid off in your past.

The next day you wake up sorer than sore, and somehow you wish that you could go run some more.
