The Last Lap

For those who run or been part of running, have had somewhere the opportunity to run the last lap.

That might have been in school in relay races, or a fun race where you long to see the finishing line. Or in a proper professional race where you dash down the finishing 40 yards to stay in front of the other competitors!

We all have been there, where you come back from a nice long holiday heading home. There is nothing like home. There is also this great feeling feeling great. Something you can't put in word to explain something you would only know about if you have been there!!

Where you hear the 'Chariot's of Fire' famous theme song even if they don't play it.

There is freedom with it like a horse sensing home and you are saddle up with it.

There is relief as you know the job is done and the pain is over.

There is satisfaction because you know you done your best

There is accomplishment because your hard work and training have paid off.

There is peace as you know you come to the end and everything else around you doesn't matter!!

There is appreciation because you enjoy the encouragement and the cheering from the side as you come around the last bent.

How many time do you come to the end of a race (one of many) that you know you only have that same feeling for this last bit, until the next race.

Every season, every race is different...............that's it why I like running and I love life.
