Remember when computers had "RUN STOP" buttons?

Well, someone pushed my RUN STOP button. My foolish plans to run have tripped over and fallen down a ravine. Watch me backpedal publicly. There's a legit excuse - for more than a week, my stoopid spine has been giving me hell. Jogging causes shooting pain. Shooting pain prompts me to RUN STOP.

Poop. Can't help but feel like a shabby piker.

The Curmudgeon is still doing a half-marathon, though. His training is progressing nicely. So all the buckets of sponsorship money you could have thrown at me can go to him - drop me a line if you're feeling benevolent. This event was the major fundraiser for the ASRC last year - $57,000 was raised, and between us he and I wheedled about one-fitfty-seventh of that out of our friends and loved ones. Let's do it again!
