April runs - 2 down, 1 to go: - Apr 15th - Wrigley 5k run - completed |
I must have lost my mind, I just registered for the following Chicago events (and I'm excited about it):
May 27th - Soldier Field 10 Mile
Oct 1st - Banco Popular Half Marathon
Oct 22nd - La Salle Bank Full Marathon
guess i'll be running again much sooner than initially anticipated.
just registered for the following runs:
- Apr 15th - Wrigley 5k run
- Apr 22nd - Wrigley 10k Start Early Run
- Apr 30th - Ravenswood 5k run
it helps when you have friends that are also participating. 
"I am seriously thrilled that I've found people who actually love to run. I think it'll be great that we will have each other for motivation... it isn't easy to train or run alone. I haven't run this much since 2001 while I was in South Korea and even then I was running alone. Believe me when I say I'm very excited and look forward to running with this same group for the half and full marathon and all those fun 5k and 10k runs along the way. I don't think that I'll be able to handle a full marathon this year but I'll be at the finish line to support anyone that does compete. The half marathon is starting to sound much easier to attain with all this positive energy. And great job on the Shamrock Shuffle everyone."
all the events are of course for good causes:

"Congratulations on finishing The 2006 LaSalle Bank Shamrock Shuffle 8K!
Your chip time was 0:50:07 and you placed 12425 out of 20,408
finishers."
Not bad considering my only training consisted of running 8k on a treadmill once in Jamaica 2 weeks before the Shamrock Shuffle. 
I'm thinking half marathon is next on the list.
