It is always easy to write about the great days. Last Saturday was the best display ever put on by an Emory squad at an NCAA regional meet.

It was a fantastic testament to the team's resilience after the disappointment of UAAs.Unfortunately, five straight region titles, five all-region plaques and 69 cents will get us nothing more than a nice warm cup of coffee in Hanover this weekend.

I will now fill the rest of my diary space with fuzzy, feel-good dribble.

To my senior colleagues: Saturday will be great. The brief moment will be a distillation of years of work, challenges and achievement. We will never have it back; that is all the motivation we need.

But Saturday is not the end. We will run again. No banners, no crowds, just us having fun. And guess what guys; it will be the same.
