The day of my dreams arrived, but all I could do made me cry and cry. All the hopes and dreams, my visions now seems shattered and defeated. Discouraged, disappointed, devastated, depleted, defeated, and depressed. All of my training, all of my dreams, all of my pain, destroyed in a day as runner after runner passed me. I felt I let everyone down as all I could give them was a frown. I was happy for the other runners, but despair enveloped me. I will try again next year, but for now I will train harder, and run harder.
