Well I got myself a new day
And I got myself a second chance
So I headed to the bus stop
And the sun, the sun was warm on my back
Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine
Well I got myself a song inside
And I got myself some full blown daylight
Wanna tell you just how hard it's been
Trying to talk myself out of jumping
Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine, yeah
Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine
Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine, yeah
And I got myself a second chance
So I headed to the bus stop
And the sun, the sun was warm on my back
Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine
Well I got myself a song inside
And I got myself some full blown daylight
Wanna tell you just how hard it's been
Trying to talk myself out of jumping
Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine, yeah
Today I ran for miles
Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine
Just to see what I was made of
Today I ran for all that was mine, yeah

The Golden Bough (A Study in Magic and Religion), a 1922 work by Sir James George Frazer remains a classic anthropological treatise.
Here's a piece of text from it:
"Sometimes apparently the right to the hand of the princess and to the throne has been determined by a race. The Alitemnian Libyans awarded the kingdom to the fleetest runner. Amongst the old Prussians, candidates for nobility raced on horseback to the king, and the one who reached him first was ennobled. According to tradition the earliest games at Olympia were held by Endymion, who set his sons to run a race for the kingdom. His tomb was said to be at the point of the racecourse from which the runners started. The famous story of Pelops and Hippodamia is perhaps only another version of the legend that the first races at Olympia were run for no less a prize than a kingdom."
