Early start....alone (no peeps that I'll know by my side) in a field of 20,000 complete strangers, loooong porta-potty lines. Everything to get my anxiety level ramped up to stratospheric levels. And I'll do this for fun! Yee-HA!
LOL, just reading this got MY anxiety levels up for you!

I've been MIA lately due to a very weird infection of some sort in my throat. I was without a voice for over a week and super phlegm-y now that I'm vocal again. Oy.

My first of two half marathons is 16 weeks away with a 15K at about the half-way mark, so I was able to put a good training plan together today. Well, RunnersWorld's Smart Coach was able to with my tweaking. I'd played with a couple of other plans but they were making me nervous and not even the least bit excited. This one is WAY better and I'm psyched to start running again!

Tonight will be 3 miles. Looking forward to it!
