I run every week with my daughter. We both agree that running isn't fun but having run is deeply satisfying.

I love this, Esther! Especially how you picture the last battle. I've had a cross country poem circling my brain as the season draws to a close. It always makes me want to run with perseverance to see them giving their all.

I'd love to read yours! I have the same reaction watching them fight to finish their races well.

Your poem inspired me. This weekend I am going to see if all these fragments can coalesce into a poem.
