Running

-

Bones creaking

Arms swaying

Legs stepping

Mouth breathing 

Body aching

Pace increasing

Chest heaving

Stride growing 

Steps increasing 

Rhythm smoothing

Breathing settling

Speed enhancing 

Route covering

Pride developing

Toughness improving

Heart beating

Heavy breathing

End nearing

Finish completing

Pride bursting

Great running
