so we are two and a half weeks from Beach to Bay Relay and i'm the weakest leg on my team.  i had every intention of training properly to avoid slowing the team down.  two injuries, a promotion at work, and major presentations and papers due for school have lead me to train inconsistantly, thus the feeling that i have let my team down.  now we do have a very capapble alternate but being the stubborn runner that i am, i feel that i can still perform well enough.  it is highly doubtful that training my ass off for the next two weeks will help any but if it gives me a psychological edge, i'll take it.
