I am currently training for my 3rd marathon - Chicago!
I've done the PF Changs Rock n Roll Marathon in AZ and the Marine Corps Marathon in DC.
Both times I swore I would NEVER do it again.
And here I am...
A lot of this has to do with my running group. I now have a dedicated group of amazing women (moms) who love to run and motivate each other. Last year many of them did the Marine Corps Marathon. I found myself envious and wishing I was there too. I joined 3 lotteries this year and secretly hoped I wouldn't get picked for any, lol. I didn't get picked for NYC, but was chosen for both the Marine Corps and Chicago. I chose Chicago because
a) I've never done it before
b) It's "flat and fast"
c) My husband is a huge Bears fan
d) It's one of the most popular marathons in the world!
I want to document my progress this time. I am more dedicated and have been much more into running than ever before. And smarter.
I honestly can't even remember timing my runs during previous trainings!
I had no idea what I was doing, lol.
