It was the way colors blurred at the edges of her vision. It was the way her body responded, lungs greedy and arms pumping and heart racing.
Ms. Natale says, "Running is not something I think about very much so I was quite surprised when all of a sudden this passage made me really think about running. The author's description is full of wonderful details and energy. I felt Cleo running but I also felt myself running!!"

I liked that there was a lot of feeling in the sentences.
