Back in the Saddle Again


I did it.

I went to the Y,

and ran with a running group.
Well, I walked with a running group.
I might have been dropped
within the first two minutes.
I may or may not be able to
walk up the stairs tomorrow.
Or walk to the mailbox.

But none the less, I got dressed,
put on my tennis shoes,
dressed my kids, loaded them in the car,
drove to the gym,
got out of the car with the two kids,
dropped them at childcare,
walked up to about six avid runners,
and started to run with them.
So excuse me while I pat myself on the back.
Wait, ouch, that arm is sore.

I even did a weigh in.
Now I have to be accountable
over the holidays.


Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again

For real this time, people.
