AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

As I got dressed this morning, I was nervous and eager. Isn't that ridiculous? But I was.

When I got to the meeting place I was excited.

There were all the "team" members: Lynne, Tam, Nell, Cathie, Tiffany. And me.

We took off, the five of them running a good, strong pace while I stayed very conservative. No talking, no pushing. Just running the way I run. Now.

As I ran I thought of good things:

• Muscles Lynne and Tam
• Cold air
• Legs that still run
• Lungs that still breathe
• Muscles that still propel
• Cold air
• Mittens

Ran the full course, about an hour long. Didn't feel tired at all, suffered no ill effects in the "procedure region." Decided that, in spite of it all, I am still a runner. Thank heaven.
