Mumbai Marathon 2020

The moon kissing a bridge across the sea,

You are running on it.

The sun pounding down a steep hill,

You are running on it.

Sweat dripping down,

Burn in your eyes,

Salt in your mouth.

Sounds you hear,

Left foot, right foot,

Breathe in, breath out.

And then you are chanting -

Almost there, almost there,

Almost.

Then you are crying,

Then you are laughing,

Then you are crying and laughing.

Silence.

And the chanting continues -

Almost there, almost there,

There.

42 kms in 3 hrs 45 mins.

If this isn't good enough for today, Nothing is.
