The Odyssey--Fear

While sitting in the dry sauna this morning, trying to loosen up my tight muscles, I realized that the marathon is only weeks away. It is then that a felt a quick stab of fear, my first. Will this be an incredibly painful, traumatic event? What if the heat turns me into a whimpering ball of goo? I recalled the time I nearly passed out after sitting in a steam sauna box (the kind where your head sticks out at the top) for a mere two minutes. I suspect I don't do well in humidity.

Am I, after all these months and miles of training, getting a case of nerves? Yep.
