Take your marks,
Get set...
It's the junior Olympics in Carroll County, Virgina.
It means nothing to the world, but it means the world to a kid who just found his love for running.
But 100m in he was in last place.
He didn't like that.
So he sped up, passing people and grades till there was only 100m left.
But he wasn't in Kindergarten anymore.
He's about to graduate.
Maybe be sped up too much, or maybe he just wasn't paying attention.
But he's not sure if he wants to finish the race.
Yeah, it's been a painful race, and he's questioned himself hundreds of times why he's doing this. He wants to finish so badly.
But once he's done, not only is running done with, his friends are gone, and so is his old life.
There's a new race coming soon, but he doesn't want to run a marathon.
