Half Marathon

Walking to the start  

Nervousness in my heart, boom

Nervousness departs   


Running and relaxed 

Running around the big track  

Leaving my small tracks 


Laces untying 

Braces unwrapping  on legs 

Paces unfolding 


Finally, turn around 

Mile 6.6 feeling crowned 

I can't back down now 


Mile 12 almost there 

Meanwhile, my legs are burning 

Denial of the end 


Seeing the finish 

Tiredness finally diminishes  

I finally finished

I ran a half marathon and wanted to write some poetry about it.
