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.

Pre Race Encouragement

There have been a few emails going around from the Team in Training group that will be running in Chicago on Sunday and I thought I would share:

Post Marathon Pain



We can't all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.- Will Rogers

Bid me run, and I will strive with things impossible.
- William Shakespeare

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
- T.S. Eliot

Big occasions and races which have been eagerly anticipated, almost to the point of dread, are where great deeds can be accomplished.
- Jack Lovelock

The pain won’t last but the memories will. - John Maclean, Ironman hall of famer

Then where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within. - "Chariots of Fire"

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop. - Lewis Carroll, from "Alice in Wonderland"
