I blame the &#8216;fair weather&#8217; running season unofficially starting.  Joey posted on his blog about how he thinks he&#8217;s going to fail or he doubts his abilities.  Anxiety began stalking A Girl Runs Through It to cause forgetfulness and physical pain.  Runner&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
