The Post-Marathon One-Mile Race

In the one-mile race this morning, at the last moment, coming around the last turn, I defeated Nemi. I said, "This is the time!" I got such innocent pleasure by defeating her. First I had to defeat Tanima, then Mitali and so on. Each time I went ahead of someone I got such joy!
