The Run

Today was the day. The day where I was going to win the race. As I walked into the park all I could think about was the wind shooting unto my face and my arms swinging back in forth to pick up my pace. When I run I think about my family and how were living. I think about my brother Ramond too. well, as I sat Raymond into the swing I glanced across the field and I could see the children playing and giggling and I could smell the scent of the grass that bloomed into the air. I could hear the chatter of the adults and the kids that where competing. I was so elated because I had faith that I was going to win today. So as the man on the loudspeaker just annouced the fifty-yard dash I began to slip off my sweat pants and then all of a sudden I spotted Gretchen standing at the starting line, kicking her long legs out like a pro. Then as I got in my spot I could see Raymond  on the line on the other side of the grey fence, stretching down with all his fingers on the ground just like he knew what he was doing. Everytime I am about start running it feels like I am in a dream. Somewhere far away floating and relax. So as we started to run i could feel the breeze as it passes me by. I could see Gretchen trying to catch up and I could see my brother Raymoond on the side line trying to run and keep up and he actually was. This was the first time I ever stop to see my brother run. Then I thought that we now have another runner in are family. As I look in front of me I could see the white ribbon waiting for me to rip it. So as I rip threw the white I could see the people jump for joy and I began to think did I win or did somebody else win or was it all just a dream. So as I walked to the side I could see Raymond run my way. Then the man on the loudspeaker says in first place we have Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker and in second place we have Gretchen Lewis. I was so elated and all I could do was look at Gretchen and smile and we both standed there with big smiles of respect between us. All I could say was what a day.
