chicago

chicago registration opens on february 1st. i'm excited to make it official!
i'm going to register early because it fills up QUICK.

training plan

today i figured out my training plan for chicago.
i am going to follow this plan again. it has worked for me twice already.

following the 18 week plan, means i will start training the week of June 8th. registration hasn't opened yet, so it's not official yet. but the plan is to run it...

other plans for the year include a 2oK at the end of may and a 10K in july.

i'd love to hear about your goals/plans for 2009!

7

ran in a 7 mile cross-country race this morning. 25 degrees temps with 9 creek crossings. lots of mud and tons of people dressed up crazy. it was so much fun! sooo cold at the finish though and it started snowing just as we ended.

here we all are dressed like pirates (gotta love my pants from the thrift store. they were 2 sizes too big, but the skulls went so well that i couldn't resist).
such a fun way to end the race season for the year!
