Keep On Running

Keep On Running - a metaphor to not ever give up and to keep moving forward in life. It is based on the concept that life is journey and in your journey is a personal race to successfully get to and cross the finish line of success and accomplishment. In the race of life are your trials, tribulations, setbacks, and struggles, and it is a marathon and not a sprint. Used in the writings of The RhymistGift and The Consummate Transitioner based on Aesop’s fable “The Tortoise and the Hare.”

Life is a race, and the only way to get to the finish line is to keep on running. Keep on running your race and do not ever stop until you have crossed the finish line. The tortoise was not the swiftest or the strongest, but he won the race, because he kept on running (did not give up) and crossed the finish line. Life is not fair or equal, but you can win your personal race, if you keep on running.

run to rest

The same concept as "hurry up and wait", planning to arrive at a locations, expecting to have to wait for commencement.

"Run to rest" builds in extra time into your schedule to allow for unexpected delays.

Running on fumes

Verb phrase.
At the end of one's resources or personal energy.

This comes from the condition of a car when it's gas gauge reads "E" or "Empty." In a car on empty, you don't know how much fuel you have left, so you assume your fuel is so low that it has evaporated into fumes.

After that Marathon, I'm so exhausted that I'm running on fumes.

My car's fuel gauge is reading "E"; I'm running on fumes, so I might not make it to the next gas station.
