```

O our 3,100-mile-run runners,

My sleepless, prayerful, soulful, powerful

And proud gratitude-heart-throbs

I have discovered

In your aspiration-mountain-height

And in your dedication-fountain-delight.

O my Saturday two-mile-race runners,

Your running is challenging,

Yet charming and thrilling.
