Cracks me up that three other people in your neighborhood are doing it and you never knew! How great to have people to discuss every little detail with. Did you say silly-little-race?! Oh no you didn't!!! Whacks with wet noodle! Sounds to me like you're acting iron-normal at this point! The night before I ran the marathon, I looked at my training log and thought, "This is all lies. I did not run these miles." Sigh. Madness.

You are an Iron-soon-to-be, and the crazies are all part of it. Hang in there. Looking forward to my bracelet! L.
