Whew! It has been a long, long week for me folks.

You, perhaps, heard me Monday on air sounding a tad hoarse.

Well, I ended up having to go to the hospital for a super bad case of strep throat! Yuk!

It was awful, and I didn't know adults still got sick like that. I thought that was like a kid thing. I was most definitely wrong!

The doc prescribed me some antibiotics, and I got stuck sitting at home watching awful television shows waiting for my throat to heal.

As many of you know, I have been planning this trip to Florida for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and The Dopey Challenge for months!

Well, of course, it fell on this week, the week I was sick.

On the plane- leaving for Florida!

Good news is I am about 70 percent on the health-o-meter right now. Today was the 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) run in The Dopey Challenge.

If you don't know what the challenge is, let me break it down.

Thursday is a 5K; Friday is a 10K (6.2 miles); Saturday is a half-marathon (13.1 miles); and Sunday is a marathon (26.2 miles).

I'm a very costume-oriented person (big shock), and for today's 5K I went as the green Power Ranger! Tommy! He's clearly the best one.

I got a little excited and ran the race a tad faster than intended. I finished in 20 minutes, 56 seconds. That's not near my best, but that's still a pretty fast time for a stupid sick kid.

I vow tomorrow will not be as fast. We'll see.

green ranger power!
green ranger power!

I'll do updates on the adventures of The Dopey Challenge.

So far, it hasn't been challenging considering I only ran a 5K. But once I run the rest, I may feel a bit differently.
