Game Day!

Yeah! I just finished my first ever race. Just to re-cap: It was a half marathon, but I did it with a relay team. I took the 1st 3.1 miles, T-mack took the middle 5, and Mrs. Z took the final 5. Even though I was completely thrown by my lack of outdoor running experience, the cold, dark air, the violent headache I got half-way through that made me think I was stroking out, the fact that sooo many people were passing me up, and my complete ineptitude at running while drinking water from a paper cup, I'm hooked. I mean, they gave us bags of swag, several buddies were there, and I beat my own time! It's not impressive at all, but it was around 32 minutes. Oh, and I got a medal. Sweet. So thank goodness I haven't suffered a stroke, although all my friends are specialists in stroke rehab and I'm sure I'd recover quickly...and thank goodness no one kidnapped me off the trail and the nice people with the paper cups didn't poison me. Where else would you accept such an offering? Think about it. I know I do.
On another note! P is back! We missed you. Glad to know you're alright. I'll respond to your riddle one way or another soon, I need another crack at it, I'm afraid. As P says, "...toodles for now..."
