100 Word Dash writing prompt entry

The finish line was in sight. She had trained for months.

'Come on, kick it up, girl.'

She was moving in slow motion, with a painful stitch in her side. Her right calf was cramped and she was running on her toes. The finish line was wavy as her vision blurred.

With her face in the dirt, she pumped her fist. "I made it."
