About Me

Chicago, IL, United States
A little over two years ago I turned in the golf shoes for a pair of running shoes, and it's been an exciting journey ever since! Within the last two years, I've run several races between Richmond, VA and Chicago, IL and now I've taken on the ambitious endeavour of running my very first Chicago Marathon on Sunday, October 9, 2011! This blog will allow everyone to follow my progress as I train for this event, post comments, encouragements and thoughts.

Is that Betty White Running?

I think the one thing I've learned from running this week was to never, EVER go for a 9 mile run following a bachleorette party.  The runs throughout the week were great, I was able to pick up my speed, but with all the lovely weather we've had this past weekend I had to bump my long run from Saturday to Sunday.  I was able to keep a consistent time for the first 8 miles, but I'm pretty sure that Betty White ran faster than me during the last mile.  My running during the last mile could have easily been confused with power walking, but I'm ok with that.

Oh well, on to week 4!
