Sunday night I signed up for the Rock n Roll Chicago Half Marathon! (haha...i just typed 'marathong'!) I'm super excited for it and I can't wait until August. Hopefully it won't be too hot this summer...
I am still looking for another race of sorts to run, and I came across the Naperville Trail Half Marathon. It's on September 11th, in a suburb that isn't too far away. It's a whopping $50, limited to 900 people, and starts at 8:30am, which isn't too bad (especially since I'll be driving there that morning.) It's also great because I don't have to sign up now, I can wait until August...or the morning of to sign up if I want. It's great!
Last week I started training for the I-Challenge Half Marathon. I did two 3 mile runs on the treadmill, the first was 28:07 and the second was 27:41. Pretty darn good if I do say so myself! I skipped the 4 mile run because I was lazy and had a hurty tummy, but I did hustle up 94 flights of stairs on Sunday morning so that makes up for it. (Not really but I can pretend.)
Race report coming up tomorrow on the Hustle. Best word to describe it: chaos.
Following you from Reese's!
ReplyDeleteI went to grad school in Chicago and now live over the WI border -- I'm doing the StPaddy's 5K and plan to do the R & R half also!
Hey Rachel, thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for the 5k, I actually haven't done a 5k in like 7 years and I walked that with my friends, so it'll be my first real 5k. I am excited about the R&R, I've heard it's a lot of fun! Good luck to you, maybe we'll run into each other!
