Before I begin this post I would like to give ya'll a little "Chatty McGee" update... since we ran together on Saturday morning I have already received not one but two messages from her on the group site. Two. What have I gotten myself into?!?
Now back to our regularly scheduled post...
16 MORE WEEKS TIL CHICAGO MARATHON!!!
IT IS GO TIME PEOPLE! HARDCORE BEGINS NOW!!!
Ok let me clarify, I have been training all along but in my head, maybe because most marathon training programs are 16 weeks long, I have been thinking that this is "go time." My training definitely escalates into a more intense program from here, the mileage starts racking up, after this coming Saturday's 14 miler; I will officially start running further than I've ever run before. 16, 18, 20, 22 milers are all headed my way! Oh my! Am I ready for this? Do I have what it takes to do this?
You bet your @$$ I do! Chicago... I got my eye on you!
Ok, now that, that little pep talk is over, everyone needs to go congratulate B.o.B for PR'ing on her 5k this weekend in honor of her Dad. GOOD JOB B!
Second session of Boot Camp tonight, let's see how much I get my butt kicked tonight! LOL!
16 MORE WEEKS!!!

Aw! Thanks!!!! Can't wait for you to come visit next month. You are going to kill it in Chicago. ;)
Great attitude. Sounds like you are ready to take on Chicago!
As a fellow redhead SERIOUSLY considering doing a marathon in 2010 I'm looking forward to following your training progress! The farthest distance I've done is 13.1 so I can't wait to see how your longer runs go!!
If you are looking for a little more inspiation, last year I embedded a video I found of the course. I bet I watched it 100,000 before I got to Chicago. You can find it here:

I am so excited for you and I hope your training goes well!
