Am I Just Crazy?

Three weeks. Yes, that's how long I have to get ready for this race. I am starting to think that's really soon and there is no way this is going to come together. Traveling has made for a crazy, non-structured training schedule. I guess I'm still in decent shape, but Saturday will be a test. I haven't done more than 7 miles since St. Jude, so we shall see if I can do better. It's hard to think about doing twice that in less than a month. At least no one will accuse me of overtraining!

The only good news is that I knitted myself a running hat and actually got it done in time to wear it before the spring came to MS. It appealed to me that it had a special slot for the "phony"tail as Christopher calls my little poof. The $1 hat I bought for St. Jude mostly gave me grief because of my poof. It just never fit right. And yet, for $1, I expected better quality, and moreover, could not bring myself to just toss it on the streets of Memphis when I got warm enough to want it gone. I mean, that's just like wasting money right? Sadly, I saw lots of really nice ear warmers and hats on the road and kept thinking I could upgrade, but didn't want to get trampled by the herd of folks burning up the road behind me.
