Up the hill at half pace he ran ,against the wind that harshly blew ,as the runner was answering , what he was being asked to do .
Down the other side he went cutting a line straight through the bend .
The marathon's a hard race and there's no rest until the end .
That's why he has trained so hard , it gives him a reason to live .
Through the wall to stamina , where there was nothing left to give .
From this place he picks up the pace as the stadium is near .
Into where flags are fluttering and the crowd begin to cheer .
The wind's at his back now and it's not far to the finish line .
Then he sees there is a chance to set a new world record time .
He begins to sprint the final lap as the crowd urge him on .
Somewhere within he finds the strength and the old record is gone .
For twenty six miles the waves and smiles encouraged him a lot and though the race is over something's will never be forgot .
