Ever had a chance to finally get what you want. You plow forward, moving as fast as you can. Not letting one or even several people get in your way to slow you down. Even when you fall, you pick your self up and keep moving harder. Your first step soon turns into your thousandth step. Minutes soon feel like hours and hours feel like an entire life time. All you have in your mind is to keep up the pace. Just a little longer, a little harder and a little faster. You start to see those around or even those with you, start falling back. Others that just fall to a state nothing, unconscious . You want to stop and help, but you can't your pride pushes you harder. Seeing that others can't maintain the pace drives you more. For miles you see nothing, in the dark unknowing. What turns, dips and obstacles lay in the wake of that one thing you want. After long hard strides forward you start to see a light brighting your path. You soon find that, you may have been short changed, but you won't accept this you pick up to a full sprint. Your eyes bouncing all over looking and checking, no mistakes now. You see the clock, your heart pumps harder, and your breath pulls deeper. You're on your last bit of strength pouring everything you have in to the last stretch. Soon, your there, it felt like a 100miles. You fall forward onto a knee look up to the sun shining bright from over the trees, no one else around you that started after this desire. You then fall back and reach for your water, gulping and pouring all over your self. You back at the clock where this all started, 2 hours 15min. You lean back and fall onto you ruck, smiling. One of the Cadre comes running over, excellent time for 12 miles, what's your name....
