The Runner

The Runner
That drop is the resistance:
      It's hard to begin once you've stood still so long so the restraints must fall first.

The next drop is the clumsiness:
     It's tough to fall back into a stride though you never forget how to run.

Then the control drop falls:
     The monster unleashed and you push frantically up the hill before you.

With that, the pain drop explodes:
     The muscles can't ache or you'd never reach the top so tension is ignored.

Then the cloud drop goes: 
     The mind is clear to think and plan and nothing else exists for the runner.
