Endorphins are coursing through her flabless physiology, her hair is streaming like a flag in a hurricane and she smiles uncontrollably.
She had not intended to run this fast. And she feels like she can run forever.
Quoting former middle-distance Aussie superstar Herb Elliot, Cathy "is full of running."
There's nothing like a great run, is there?....
