I would run the marathon

put my trust upon a white dove

I would run over hurdles

I like this.  It's sweet, romantic and to the point.  I might insert a comma at the end of L2, a period at the end of L3 and begin a new strophe with L4; this would make better use of white space in my humble opinion.
