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.

18 Miles

I was pretty excited I survived the 18 mile run on Monday morning. Then I thought, "Wow, the marathon will be 8 MORE MILES!" and I wasn't excited about my 18 miles anymore.

We have one more really long run- - -Sunday we will do 20 miles. Then it will be time to start tapering down to rest our legs for RACE DAY!! After our 20 miler, our longest run until race day will be only 9 miles. That will seem so easy at this point!


24 DAYS TO GO!!
