RUN LOLO, RUN!


On your mark.

Set.

Go!

Out into the world and claim it as your own

See the passing street lights as you get into your zone

Focus, as you open your stride

Feel the irregular beat of your heart come alive

Closer to your goal, do not stop or slow

Soar high and soar low

Believe

Now breathe,

Free you mind and

Let the run take its course

Let the stress roll away

As you pave your own way

Hear them shout, “RUN LOLO, RUN!”

Because you have conquered the trials

Do not look back in denial

You earned this,

Now, finish with an award winning smile.
