10-10-10

What could possibly be more important on the fun date of 10/10/10 than to run the Chicago Marathon?!? Now I know you are all probably asking how in the world this happened since at the ripe age of 18 I retired from running after my double knee surgery...If I know my parents they are cringing right now!

Well, long story short...I caught the bug - the running bug! The obsession is back and I am right back where I left off, my cross country career has morphed into something very different!

I was planning to run a half marathon and during a moment of joy and distraction ran 15 miles in San Fran. This caused me to wonder, was I training for the wrong race? It sure sounds like it! A whole slew of thoughts went through my head, am I nuts - probably...can I do this - most likey, is it going to hurt - definitely! And I stopped with this one, you will always fail when you never try! So here I am for better or worse...and you can read a better version of why I am running at my MARATHON site - never thought I'd say that did you!
