“I ran out of strong.”
“I ran home in the moonlight with firm strides; for the sun-love made me strong.”
“I've never lost a game. I just ran out of time.”
“You'd think he'd ran out off rocks," I muttered”
“But I'd run two miles and when I stepped inside our cool, dark house, I yelled up the stairs to Mom, "I ran two miles with Daddy, Mom! I'm strong! I'm strong!" And I punched the wall and could feel the plaster and lath behind the wallpaper, though I had no words for them.”
“Once I ran out of excuses, I reclaimed my life. Now, I don't need excuses.”
