What is it like to be in the finishing straight of a marathon?
Being in the finishing straight of a marathon is a cocktail of emotions, like a pinata of feelings got busted open! Your legs feel like jelly, but not the nice strawberry kind, more like the one Aunt Martha makes for Thanksgiving. The crowd is a muffled symphony of voices, each cheer sending a jolt of adrenaline that outfoxes your exhaustion. The finish line becomes the most beautiful sight, like spotting an oasis in the desert or finally finding your car in a packed parking lot. It's a moment of pure, exhilarating triumph, reminding you why you signed up for this crazy foot race in the first place!
