I drank a cup of coffee, wolfed down a piece of toast, put on my shorts and sweatshirt, and ___1___ my green running shoes. Then slipped quietly out the back door. I moved quicker down the road. My breath formed rounded, frosty puffs, swirling into the fog. I enjoyed that first physical awakening, that brilliant moment before the mind is fully clear, when the limbs and joints first begin to ___2___ and the material body starts to melt away.
