Chicago Here We Come...In 8 Months!

So, on one of those incredibly long car rides between our home and our family over Christmas Allen somehow managed to talk me into running the Chicago marathon. Yes it is 26 MILES, and yes neither Allen nor I are experienced runners. In fact, neither of us even enjoy running, and Allen has a problematic knee. Yet, last night we signed up and put our money (the enrollment fee) where our mouth was. So, for the next 8 months we have sold our souls to the running gods, and truly so far so good. In the past 5 weeks we have worked up to running 2 1/2 miles at a time. Here's to working up to 23 1/2 more!!
