was like we were in the Olympic Games. Peter was ahead of me. So was Owen. Then I shot off. I was racing ahead.
My legs were going faster than the rest of me. I sped off onto the main road and kept running past other runners until
there was only Peter left in front of me. On and on, I ran. My legs and lungs were hunting but I couldn’t stop. Just
outside the town, I ran past Peter. A minute later, I was declared the winner of the marathon. Everyone cheered and
clapped. It was hot. I was perspiring. I could hardly breathe but it didn’t matter. I was really happy and I felt like a
hero.
