Ah, it is official.
I just registered for the 2009 Chicago Marathon & there is no going back (it says so in the waiver & registration form: must run forward, no refunds!). That and signing the waiver about not being held responsible for loss of property, injury & death.
Ran 5 miles today on the lake front path (it is freezing outside!) & managed to run our best training time yet (under 11 min mile average). Next run is planned for Friday (can you say 7 miles?) Whee!!!
