Sis Cat,
Good for you. I could not make it five miles ever, especially today. lol
Descriptive picture. Short, sweet and clean...just like I like them! Nicely effective and impressive. Very well reflected thoughts and expressions. The words you chose worked well. It is perfectly written and completely error free.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal

Yes, Linda, my biggest win was crossing the finish line after one hour, two minutes and fifty-seven seconds. I prayed every step, or limp, of the way. Thank you for your review and congratulations.

Comment from bhogg
enjoyed the post and the accompanying photo. Actually, I liked the photo best of all. The best part of any exercise is the finish. Certainly more of a Senryu than Haiku. Don't know if your contest specifies Haiku.

Bhogg, I am so glad I took that selfie after my race. I was going to use a generic picture of an elderly man racing, but my picture is the real deal. Thank you for your review and compliments.
Comment from Zinnia48
Three brief lines tell a whole lot of story in this haiku: passion, commitment, and dedication, and a tolerance for pain. I used to be a runner (until I had a couple of knee surgeries). I can feel your pain. thanks for the lovely read. caroline

Yes, Zinnia, my haiku tell a story. Each line unveils a different aspect of my story. The brilliant thing about the satori "finish line in sight" is that it invites the reader to complete the story by imagining an exhausted, pained man limping across the finish line.
Thank you for your review. Now I must go run before the sun sets.

Comment from rspoet
Well done, Andre, a fine accomplishment
I never run, unless someone is chasing me
But I did do most sports for many years
It does extract a toll on the body.
A fine senryu/haiku for the challenge, as well
Sometimes, finishing a poem for a contest deadline
can have the same effect. (I never liked the word deadline,
finishline is much friendlier)
Great photograph to match
Congratulations
RS

Thank you, RS, for your review and congratulations. Yes, I feel exhilarated, too, when I finish a poem before the contest deadline.
Comment from elainec4
Excellent senryu. I love both haiku and senryu because of the brevity of word and thought. Yours is an excellent example. It conveys clear thought--and your photo is perfect.

Comment from jusylee72
So true, easier to stop than continue but the relief of making it to the finish line is a lesson we need in every aspect of life. I enjoyed you short but wonderful poem.

We should all have tat kind of determination. Unfortunately I'm a wimp, I pray everyday to have courage like you describe, some days yes others no. Back to your poem, really nothing else to say, it's great. Easy to read, great form, universal theme, no reader can ask for more.
