As to the running, I cheered whe I read what you wrote! That's an unbelievable amoun courage and determination over time paying off. I know because I've climbed that (metaphorical) hill. You go girl!

I have a Sam/Jack prompt for the friendathon, and currently it's driving me a little nuts. The idea intrigued me, and I had some amorphous ideas, but the more I waded into them, the more they faded into wisps and vanished away. I know myself well enough to know that the pressure of a deadline will concentrate my mind wonderfully, though, so I fully expect to have it written and posted in a timely fashion. I doubt it will be my best work ever, but then, they can't all be, can they?
