I did it.

I registered for the SIT 5K. My first race in years. Lord: seriously, years. I've been doing the couch-to-5K plan, modified somewhat by the fact that I looked at the plan once, several weeks ago, and figured I'd wing it. I'm in a tricky place because I'm on the edge of shin splints: I need to back off a smidgeon. I've got 22 days - it shouldn't be a problem. Yay me!
