@The_JAM: It’s a term runners use. When you’ve been running for several miles (very much a personal thing) and you’ve reached a point of complete physical and emotional exhaustion, so that you feel like you can’t go any further, you’ve “hit the wall”. A lot of times, if you force yourself to go on, you’ll find you can go further than you ever thought you could.

If I don’t find the wall about twenty yards from the starting line, I’m not trying.

He spelled nausea wrong - and hitting “The Wall” doesn’t involve nausea, anyway.

Gary caught it. That misspelled word is about the only thing that gives me that “hopeless sense of dread.”
