I officially entered and paid for the Chicago Marathon today. I tried coming up with a training plan last night and earlier today. I used an article from "Runner's World", but it's for a half-marathon, is for eight weeks and is from 2002. Yesterday was my official start of training, as school is now completed.
As I was realizing the marathon is not for 22 more weeks, I immediately began looking for more races. 22 weeks straight of training would suck. So I also signed up for the 10K race during the MadCity Marathon. That's the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. THat's in less than two weeks. I tried finding more races in the area and I have a tentative schedule that has me racing every two to three weeks. The problem is that every race is 10k. There are ZERO half marathons between the MadCity and Chicago marathons. Not sure if I need the build up, but it wouldn't hurt.

I went running today. My intention was to run to my old house and back (about 1 mile one way). It didn't go too well.
you know, I could've just mailed your phone to you. >.>
I dunno when I am coming home. Be prepared, because I've been practicing my nordic circle alone.
have you run your 18 miles yet?
Don't forget to get a new pair of running shoes.
