Running

Running, so hard at the beginning,
My lazy body screams for rest
while the brain begs for sleep
But I ran on.

Like life, once you found a beat
a synchronized rhythm
Heavy breathing
echoes of your foot

The air became sweet
and the taste of your sweat a side dish to the main course
You feel like you can run forever

I ran 10 rounds on a track today. It feels easier as you don't see how far you still have to go. On the street, I'd just get discouraged as I gaze at the distance still ahead.
