English term

my legs had a mind of their own!

English to French Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
My pace quickened, my legs had a mind of their own! I had to force myself to slow down. Be upset, I thought to myself even though it was the exact opposite reaction that I felt! When I finally reached her, my excitement turned to shyness. My hands held onto Casey’s bag so tightly, that they started to sweat.

Is what I'd go for - just as surreal as the English. Sorry, no accents

mes jambes avançaient machinalement!
