My legs were getting weary and I knew at some point they were going to give out. I had to stop. I dropped to my knees and held my head in my hands. I waited and waited for my breathing to lighten up. It seemed like I had been running for hours, and for all I knew, I had been. My head started to get light and everything began to swirl around me.
