You know what?

I almost didn't run today.  I felt SOOOO rotten/sorry for myself/full of snotty allergy mess.  Headache, blah blah blah.

Then I read Coach Emily's report of Leadman, and how she kicked serious tail in SERIOUS wind.  With hills.  Like, both directions.

So I figured the least my pansy butt could do was to get out for 5 miles.

Clear, quiet, me and the shadow again.  iPod was dead, so no tunes.  And I realized two things.

1.  I am pretty awesome at hocking loogies.

2.  I'm getting faster.  For real.

Just in time.  This is good news.  Good news, indeed.
