cross country running spikes - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

I wore those spikes on every cross country run. They became a ritual of sorts that summoned my courage and strength of spirit.

The spikes were light and strong, able to keep me upright no matter what storms and been and gone.

The spikes became one with my feet every cross country run, caked in mud as if I had become sculpture within it, awaiting the artist's chisel.

Cross country running helped me to get a grip on life, the spikes were the perfect metaphor each time I pulled the laces snug.
