Running Until Morning, pt. 3
IN THE HILLS
One day, I was determined to follow him through those hills and find out where he went. So, the next time I saw him, I ran after him into those rough, forbidding hills. I was right. It was the expert path. And it was hard. But, somehow, I was able to keep going.
The guy that I was chasing was certainly an expert runner. He got way ahead of me in no time, but I kept him in sight and just kept following after him. I had to admit, the air seemed cleaner, the view was much better, and there was a nice, refreshing breeze blowing that I couldn't feel on the path I had been running on.
I noticed right away that we were running into the sun. I couldn't honestly tell whether it was sunset or sunrise, but now the thing about "follow the sun" made sense. If I headed directly into the sun, I'd be on the right path.
It's a pretty good thing that I noticed that, too. Because soon, Mr. Expert Runner Man was out of sight over the next hill. So, I'd just "follow the sun".
At the tops of the hills, when I started to run downhill, I could usually see him more clearly, so I knew I was on the right track, anyway.
