Just kidding - I'll spare everyone. But I will say that the preparation was worse than the actual event. Juma Ikanga is credited with saying, "the will to win is nothing without the will to prepare." I could probably change that around somehow to fit my experience of yesterday, but I'll spare everyone.
Oh, just one more thing. The results were negative. Just like when I went in for that brainscan - the results were negative that time too.
All of which brings me to today's run in Broadview Heights with Amy and Dave. I had to explain that the back/leg problems made me forget about the foot problem, the rib problem (from the fall) made me forget about the leg/back problems and now preparing for the colonoscopy made me forget about the ole ribs. Not that those other problems have completely gone away, mind you - they're still there. Just not at the top of my brain's priorities..
It was the first time I had run, or done anything at all, for a week. And my side still hurts - it's just that I couldn't stand to not run any more. I managed to keep up for an hour twenty-five or so. Just happy to be able to run at all.
On top of everything else, I'm now fighting off a cold (using Zicam). Must've been one of the nurses. Really.

Working tomorrow, about 9 people scheduled for the group run. Rest up, we're only a couple weeks out from the 1st Subway race. Talk to you soon
