Pushing the Limits (March 2007)

One foot steps in front of the other at a rapid pace. My breathing is rather heavy and drops of sweat drop off the end of my nose. The ground beneath me and bushes near by flash past, I hardly notice them. The thump of my feet hitting the ground is not in sync with the beat of my heart that seems to go 100mph. As the endorphins’ rush through my veins the adrenalin pushes me to go faster, to push my limits further than before. My arms pumping fast to help me reach my goal. The muscles that stretch throughout my legs are burning as the lactic acid builds up inside them. None of this makes me want to stop or even slow down, I want to go more, faster still.The person I’m trying to beat, is me.
