I know I said the goal for the year was 11 halfs for 2011. But I've changed my plan. After Princess, I'm planning on a few spring 5ks, a May half, and . . .
Training for the 2011 Chicago Marathon!
I just registered. Thank you so much to all you strong and beautiful ladies who have led by example and given me the courage to do this.

Ice Ice Baby
Hope everyone is staying warm during this wintery mess! We only got about 1 inch of ice, and though it's snowing a little, we missed the brunt of the storm. The Y was closed last night, though, so I ended up with an unplanned (but much appreciated) rest day. Even my class was cancelled due to bad forecasts. How much snow did you get?
I have to say I am very seriously contemplating Chicago. It would change up my running goals (eliminating some of the fall halfs), but I feel like this race is so special . . . I don't know. I would like to run with a charity - have any of you done a race with a charity group? The only thing that scare me is the 6:30 cut off time (a 14:54 mile pace), but I feel like I have plenty of time to train to be able to come in around 5:30 or 5:45. How do you decide what races to do?
Off to work for the afternoon, then hopefully to get a good run in at the Y. Stay warm!
