Instead of running the Chicago Half Marathon on September 11th, 2011, I'm going to run the Rock and Roll Half Marathon on Sunday, August 14th, 2011. I was talking to a few people about it, read up about each of the marathons and the Rock and Roll one seems much more my style. They have bands playing at every mile! I heard it's a lot more fun and the route is nicer. The race starts in Grant Park, goes through downtown, up LakeShore Drive and ends at Grant Park. Luckily, I have a few running companions that will join me in the run and that will help motivate me!
I was also really proud of myself for going to the gym yesterday. It was another mini-blizzard and I got a little nervous taking the car out, but I made it to the gym and ran a successful 2.5 miles at an even higher speed. I'm going to run again tonight, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
I can't wait for all the snow to melt and it to get a little warmer so I can start running outside with friends. Come on Spring!
