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.
