Jeff and I will be running the Chicago Marathon on October 12 with Team in Training to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We are running in memory of Marci's dad, Walter Pilant and our friend, Marilyn Williams, who both lost their lives early to blood cancers. We are also running in honor of Shelby, a thirteeen year old girl who was diagnosed with leukemia when she was only four years old.

Staying On Schedule

Keeping our running schedule has been tough over the last week. We missed a 3 mile run Friday because it was the 4th and then we missed another 3 mile run yesterday because we have family in town. For some reason, I feel bad about telling friends/family to just hang out while we go get our run in. It makes me feel selfish and inconsiderate.Our 6 mile run on Sunday went pretty well. I just took it very slowly and my body felt pretty good by the end of it. Jeff completed his too and his calf still feels very tight, but much better. Maybe we have made it over that little hump- - - -until the next one. I am sure the whole training will be up and down with how our bodies feel.So today we are scheduled for a 4 mile run and it is raining and will be raining on and off most of the day. It looks like we are going to go to the YMCA to run on the treadmill (yipee!!) I am not a fan of the treadmill!
