Have you?

have you ever heard the "clat, clat, clat" of feet pounding into the floor behind you? have you ever felt your shins about to snap under the pressure of the constant slamming against the ground? have you ever been so out of breath you fall to the ground, knowing for a fact there is no chance you will ever stand again, and then having get back up and race again? have you ever received a batton by a teammate and understood that everything is in your feet now? have you ever seen the lights go on because it's so late the moons come out to tell you to go to sleep but you ignore her because she just jealous she'll never get a first place medal? have you ever had a team that win or lose has your back until the very end? have you ever ran all day from 12am to 12pm because you don't have a care in the world other than feeling that rubber underneath your spikes? have you ever experienced competitive track and field? i have. there is no going back.
