Elephants, Gazelles and the Greenbelt

Last night i had this dream about two gazelles running along talking with each other. They bounced along ever so easily, like their feet never touched the ground. Behind them was a charging elephant, big and clumsy. It was night time and the clumsy big elephant was braking branches and crushing the rocks beneath him. Occassionally the silly elephant actually thought he had a chance of keeping up with the Gazelles, how silly. Finally after a long pursuit by the elephant the gazelles stopped talking. The elephant new this was bad!! This meant that the gazelles where about to run faster, and they did. The poor elephant was left in the dark, his big legs feeling heavier and slower with every step as the gazelles bounced away effortlessly into the darkness.
Suddenly i woke up, i was sweating like crazy. I opened my eyes and found myself at the exit of the greenbelt,coach Derick and another runner standing in front of me.
I guess i'm the elephant!
