This is really interesting. I can really picture this person and their passion for running. Maybe you could make it longer...

A lovely and very interesting story, well written. A wonderful metaphor, indeed. Well done!

My thanks for the review. Greatly appreciated.

I can relate, definitely. Not only from the running from things (both mentally and physically), but from the feeling. After running a short marathon, I felt similar as I sprinted to the end, exactly as you described it... my feet were running, but I felt as light as a bird, lifting off...

I always hoped it wasn't just endorphins and an exercise high and all that... I'm glad I'm not the only one, at least ^^

Wow. Nice story. You really do capture the character's feelings perfectly, so I can almost feel that sensation of running, and then—wonderfully—of flying. I particularly like your first and last lines; the first caught my attention and made me want to find out where the story was going, and the last...well, it just seems like you picked the perfect sentence to finish the story up. Also, I love the rhythm of your sentences and paragraphs, and the feeling that there's never a word out of place. Given the excellence here, I wish you good luck in all of your other endeavors.

Wow! What an emotional piece!

The narrator's feelings are apparent throughout the piece and the whole running metaphor is very, very, interesting.

Thanks for the review. :) I'm glad you did, actually, because it let me to your page thingy. Your writing is /gorgeous/ - I wish I could pack so much meat and potatoes into relatively short works like this. I feel like I really connected with this one - not one word astray.

You have a great voice, so don't ever stop writing, damn you! :)

Well done! A very intersting piece. I was glad to see the whole running/flying idea wasn't cliche as it often is being a popular idea.

I really liked this piece. It was unique. I could relate with the narrator very well, despite the fact that I absoluetly despise running and walking.

The dialect enhanced it largely. It made the people all the more real.

The "flying" was also believable, because I've found myself entranced in such ways many a' time. I long to remember those experiences, because they're gone before I'm ready for them to be.

Great job. Keep writing.

Wow, that gave me shivers. lol. Awesome job! I had a friend in elementary school that ran and ran and ran. This totally reminded me of him. Very nicely done. Great description too. :)

Keep writing
