pushin' it


i feel the sweat running down my face

i feel my muscles tighten

my arms feel like lead weights

i have no strength to keep going

only six miles done

still another four to go

i can do it

breathe deep and push hard

i pick up my feet

i feel like im moving faster

pull my back up straight

and feel the breeze hit my face

take another deep breath and keep pushing

push harder than before

the last mile is gonna be the hardest one

it's all in the workout

i know i need to finish this

i can't stop i need to keep going

there's time for rest later

runner's mentality takes over me

i clear my mind

start thinking about how good it feels

my muscles are getting stronger

my arms are pumping harder and tighter

i can feel the pounds drop off

in little drops of sweat

the sun is beaming down

its the hottest moment of the day

but i take it all in

the sun wakes me up and i push harder

only a mile left

i'm almost done

give it another 7 minutes and i'll be done

i see the end in my head

i feel the exhaustion setting in

i can't let it beat me

i see the finish line

i'm gonna finish this

go hard and never stop

i hear my coach yelling kick it now

i sprint i feel it in my legs

but i'm gonna finish strong

i sprint and i finally make it

i didn't stop i pushed on

never cheat on your workouts

the feeling is too good when you don't cheat
