Sad that the race is near
Comments (20) Update: Aron is right – the Chicago Marathon is now closed. Funny thing is – it was open this morning when I checked it. Total bummer. Steven wanted our first full to be local – time to look into Wisconsin!
Earlier this week, a coworker (who is also a runner) asked if I will be excited when the May 2nd Half Marathon is over.
No way! I will be SAD when it’s over! I am having so much fun training. I love being on a schedule. I love having a race to look forward to.
And yes, I am a little bit worried of keeping my mileage up when I am NOT training for something specific. I feel great when I get at least 25 miles in a week.
My guess is, I will spending most of May 3rd convincing Steven to sign up for the Chicago FULL Marathon before it’s too late. (Wait, is it a good idea to give away my reasoning for signing up? Ha ha.)

Ha ha. Yes, the Kenosha Half Marathon Medals are blocks of cheese:
And… today is the first day that weather.com is showing the forecast for race day. Let the worrying begin! I have absolutely NO faith in weather predictions. But I still look at them, and somewhat plan my life around them. Why? I am not sure.
Looks good so far…
