The week of May 8th marks the beginning of my training for the 2011 Chicago Marathon. I'll be running on behalf of the Chicago Catholic Charities "Neighbors in Need" program. I'm extremely excited to be running in it and touched by all the words of encouragement I've received from my family and friends.
With the help of my good friend Brittany T, I was able to help create this blog to keep all of you updated with my progress of training for the marathon and give you the ability to post any comments or suggestions that you may have for me! The blog will be updated at least weekly, so you can all see my progress with training. Since this is my first marathon I'll be following the Hal Higdon training program, however I'm interested in hearing from all of you as to what has and has not worked for them.
I would like to give a special thanks to Chris, Brendan and Angie for their generosity with donating on behalf of my running campaign for the Chicago Catholic Charities.
Also, if you're ever looking for a running partner on Saturday mornings or after work, let me know, I'd love to see you out for a bit on the Lakefront Path!
Thanks for stopping by!
Katelyn
