Chicago Marathon- Get ready

Chicago Marathon- Get ready

Yes! Congratulations for all of my friends who have trained for the Chicago marathon. Remember this, you are trained and ready to go. All you have to do is run the race, celebrate the crowds, endure the high and low parts of the race and earn the finish line.

For you first time marathon runners, each of you will feel amazing at the end of the race. I read an article from a runner who said we can be at our "worst" sometimes at the finish line. Let me clarify what is meant by that. You will likely be greeted by your friends and family. They will be so excited for you and your finish. Remember to thank them, give them a hug, high five, kiss, etc. You ran the race, but they are the reason you were successful in the journey.

Just to pump you guys up, check this picture.

Take me to....

Take me to....

Won't you take me to, taper town! Holy smokes, I never thought it would get here. I am talking about the taper. I love taper time and dislike it. It's a weird feeling to dislike not running as much. I will still be running heavy though. My Nike Plus program still has some big runs left in it. 16 at the end of this week, which is not a slam dunk:)

I have a number of friends who are entering race week for the Chicago Marathon. I wish all of you a fun race week. You are getting ready for the biggest test and party of your running life. I love Chicago, but more on that later. Perhaps I should dedicate all week to writing about Chicago in your honor? What do you think?

YAHOOOOOOOOOO!

Representing the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Representing the Iowa Hawkeyes!

I am so excited to share with you the news! I signed up to run in the Big Ten K in Chicago. I will be running with my Iowa Hawkeye colors....for me that is SO exciting! This 10K is going to be so special, as I will have my biggest fans with me.....Teri and Nile!

I love the fact that this race is in Chicago. I love this city so much. It is where I was born and raised. Additionally, I have run three full marathons there. The Big Ten K is on July 26th, so I will be posting some more updates on my progress.

I hope you all had a great week and weekend!
