Tim Simpkins: Update 2/17/01

Hello, Saturday Super-Star Striders

I sure hope all my friends enjoyed their racing today. Flash 12K is a very tough course to run. I salute all you motivated meanderers!

Yesterday I was very fatigued! Sleep consumed my entire day. I feel better today. Stomach pain only bothered me 90 mins. yesterday. Today pain has not hit me just yet. Everyday pain likes to come between 4 PM and 8 PM.

Feet are normal size now. However, my non-running skinny calves and legs are getting to be a sight to admire!

I enjoyed reading the club's new newsletter! Glad we have it. Thanks Mike! Tim and Sarah, congratulations on winning the Flash 12K.

It is still unsure as to whether or not I return to Tally before Feb.25. Schedule depends on treatments. I hope I can make the Relay.

Sometimes, depending on the situation, I get to wear new running shorts ---huge pampers! Friends, I find this to be another first in my crazy, cancer world.

Yesterday I got 36 e-mails! Your messages are very uplifting and anticipated. Please understand I am unable to answer all these. Messages are saved for future reading and reference.

Monday I hope to do another blood treatment, if my tired body permits me. The session is very tough on me. But it is needed very much to fight my cancer.

As usual, may you enjoy your Sunday run! May the earth feel wonderful beneath your feet! May the scenery flow gently by! May you truly enjoy each other's running company! Friends, you are the best!
