“She ran as the first maples started to change color, then the oak.
She jumped over roots, she sidestepped brambles, her footfalls echoing off plank bridges traversing streams.

She ran for speed. She ran for distance. She stretched carefully first thing in the morning and last thing before bed.”

“The Runner’s Prayer
I pray that I may run,
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last race,
I then most humbly pray:
When checking in for the Lord’s great race,
And standing there a sinner,
That God in his mercy finds me,
Qualified to enter.”
