What is it like to run a marathon?
What goes through the runners mind?
There is exhilaration
There are nerves
There is doubt

“Can I power through at this pace”
It’s about putting your finger in the candle flame
It’s about testing yourself through that moment of truth
It’s about rediscovering your basic instinct for survival
That’s what the smile is about

It’s a signal
It says I am in control
It says I am thriving on the knife’s edge
It says I am absolutely killing it
