Background: I ran the St. George Marathon last year and finished without too much discomfort (not world beating time or anything close, but I finished).

This year I didn't train quite as well as last year. 2 weeks ago Saturday I was supposed to run 20 miles. I wilted in the near 100 degree heat and quit at 14.5 miles. I could have done more, but I decided I wasn't ready and I should drop out. I also had some pretty severe blisters from switching running shoes too late in the process and that aided my decision. I haven't run 1 mile since. The blisters are now healed.

The marathon is on Saturday and I have this crazy itch to do it. Based on these facts, how crazy am I?
