I used the last of my strength and the last of my water to get to the tree... only to discover it wasn't a place to rest, but a place where people had quit and were waiting for a ride home. I was broken and wanted to stop, but I couldn't because I had to complete the race it for Todd.\n\nI think Cake's \"The Distance\" captures this feeling pretty well.\n\n Kyle", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
