The cafe was buzzing with the Saturday afternoon crowd, the noise a dull roar in Mark's ears. Across the table, Liam was enthusiastically describing their first attempt at a 10k race.

"You were a machine! You were sprinting past everyone!" Liam was laughing, his eyes shining.

Mark blinked, the words seeming to bounce off him. The race… it was a blur of aching muscles, pounding feet, and a desperate desire to stop. He recalled the relentless heat. He recalled the dizziness. "I mostly remember being slow," he finally said, his voice flat. He felt a deep ache within him, a bone-deep weariness.

Liam frowned. "No way! You were right behind me the whole time!"
