Hi Everybody!
I have added two competitions to my schedule this year. I will be running a 4 mile race with a friend. It is the Slacker. I ran the half-marathon last year, but my friend wants to run the 4 mile, so I will. You can find out about it here - http://www.slackerhalfmarathon.com/
I really think that I should run the half (for training), but sometimes friendship overrides these things.
The second confirmed and registered competition for me is my first full marathon. I am registered for and will be running the Chicago Marathon!
I am so looking forward to it.
I know that several people are planning on going. Do we have a head count yet?
What a great blog--shared by multiple runners. I co-blog with a running friend and it's a great way to stay enthused.
ReplyDeleteHope your training and racing in Chicago goes well. I'm biased, but I think Chicago is the best marathon of them all.
Good luck!

CONGRATS, Charlie!!! Count me in -- in some capacity!
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to meet the "team"!
Well, I'm flying in on the 10th and out on the 14th! I'll be staying at the Congress Park hotel (near Grant Park).
ReplyDeleteI am so pumped for this marathon!
Charlie,
ReplyDeleteI'm in! I think we will come in Friday too and leave Monday. No hotel arrangements yet though.
I'm pumped too!!
Congratulations on your selection of the Chicago Marathon, a great event! I ran it in 2006, the cold year. I just did a post on my blog and mentioned the wonderful restaurant we ate at. It is called "Trattoria Roma", 1535 N. Wells Ave. A short cab ride from your hotel. Good luck with your training. The Chicago course is FLAT!
