 Fleet Feet and Wonderful Friends

Fleet feet and wonderful friends.
The exhilaration of the race continues
Long past crossing the finish line.
The camaraderie of fellow runners;
This band of brothers and sisters.
Competition drives from the inside;
But sportsmanship and support dominates.

Fleet feet and wonderful friends.
Some are swift beyond my dreams;
Others share my joy of placing one foot
In front of the other, time after time after time.
Our neighbors see us as those village idiots
On winter training runs in the pouring sleet;
With the thermometer saying low 20's.

Fleet feet and wonderful friends.
Joining one another once again in a foot race;
Mankind's oldest and most simple sports.
Encouragement from former strangers;
Now becoming friends, becoming partners.
Running is really microcosm of life;
You work, you test, and then you accept.

Fleet feet and wonderful friends.
Fleet feet and wonderful friends.
Fleet feet and wonderful friends.
