running in the woods

I explored in the woods on an unknown path.  It was nearly 5pm and the daylight was fading quickly.  Further and further away from my car I ventured, and when the sun hid its light behind the horizon I knew that my time of illumination was closing quickly.  So I ran.  And I ran.  And I ran.  My adrenaline pumped my legs as I leapt over tree stumps and bound up rocky pathways, my heart beating like a gong in my ear.  And then I arrived, feeling fully alive and positively refreshed.
