This Sunday, I will be here:
Yesterday I got this crazy idea.... I'm sure there are people who signed up for the Chicago marathon last spring, and something has come up where they can't run it now...pregnancy, injuries, other commitments, etc. 45,000 people were able to sign up... Maybe I'd be able to buy someone's spot!
Yep, I found someone selling on ebay and my ticket should be in the mail overnight tonight. Now I know I'm totally crazy, but I'm okay with the fact that I probably won't even finish the whole 26.2 miles. The course is open for 6.5 hours, so I guess I have at least that amount of time to try to get myself through it. But if I don't it's okay. Why? Because I have not been training!
So, I will take my phone with me as my ipod, and will use it to call Grant if I need him to come and get me from some random location in the city.
I've always wanted to at least try one, but I'm always too chicken, and I always use the excuse of trying to get pregnant or actually being pregnant not to sign up. Not being able to control the weather gets to me too. But, it's supposed to be beautiful this weekend! And I'm definitely not pregnant or trying at the moment... No excuses to push myself at least partially through!
Here's to hoping I don't keel over and die!

You'll do great..as
for me I'll just live vicariously through you and pretend that I could even remotely think about doing that! Good luck!
That's awesome. I just started running again and I'm already daydreaming about running a marathon as I jog along. Who knows if I'll actually ever do it, but for once it's actually crossed my mind that I maybe could.
i hope it went well! xo
