After months of training and subtle denial, the time has come to run the Dopey Challenge. As you can surmise from last Friday’s post, the weekend didn’t go exactly as planned. We’ll get to that.

If you happen to be friends with or follow a runner on social media, you know that Tuesday was kind of like Christmas for runners.
