Determination


One step at a time. 

Just keep moving, one foot in front of the other. 

First one, then the other.

The thoughts looped though her mind, keeping her going, keeping her focused.  She pulled air into her lungs, feeling the sweat along her hairline and down her back.  Her legs ached with fatigue.  Her throat felt dry.  Her heart pounded in rhythm with her feet.

She caught a familiar face in the crowd lining the roadway, smiling and shouting encouragement.

“You can do it.”

She felt new life flowing though her and nodded, yes she would finish her first marathon.
