week 8

missed this week thanks to the nasty stomach flu. should have run today, but didn't.

this week i think i'll make a countdown calendar and more formally sketch out my running schedule. only about 30 or so weeks to go...

week 7 (i think)

still too damn cold here to get into a rhythm. sticking with 5K each time out now- feeling good.

time for new shoes. still running on the old ones from the last marathon 9 years ago. got maybe a few runs left in these but will start the search for new ones soon.

it's on

signed up tonight for chicago. $125 entry fee is non-refundable, which means there's now 125 more reasons not to back out.

had a great run for the inaugural finkbowl 5K on sunday. mad props to puddin' for getting out there with me as the only other "participant", and to mcv for participating via satellite. weather here was perfect- crisp and cool with no wind. a great run with a great friend- much like i expect chicago to be.
