a great cloud of witnesses page 2 by ric Gustafson
Charlie stretched his legs and tried to relax. He noticed the other runners were doing the same thing. This was his first major race and it was very warm out. He began to doubt if he could finish the race.
The gun went off and he began his run. Because of the heat, he fell out of the pack after three miles. He was already thirsty. Then he noticed a water station ahead. He stopped under the tent. A grizzled old man handed him a cup of water.
Charlie quickly gulped it down. " Thank you".
" I'm Noah". He grinned as he gave another runner a cup of water. " I'm here to give you encouragement".
Charlie ran out of the tent with renewed vigor.
