They signed me up to run the half marathon... and didn't tell me until the Friday before the Saturday morning race!

I hadn't run a single step in almost two months... I had spent all of my time on the bike. And when I went out on race day it was the strangest damn feeling in the world. It felt as if my legs had forgotten how to run! It's hard to describe... but I felt like I was spastic and uncoordinated... like my legs didn't know what to do.

Glad I'm not the only one who's had this feeling.
Oh, man, that's my idea of a nightmare!
