my knees are gone

i ran the marathon in a suit and tie and barely survived. the first half was a breeze but as soon as i hit mile 9 my knees began to hurt in a big way. each step was excruciating pain but i had no choice but to finish. as i crossed the finish line and crumbled to the ground i couldn’t feel my legs, but i was content knowing i was one huge step closer to being the strongest man alive.
