Before we get to the title, let me tell you about my day! I left the house around 7:30, eager to fight the Chicago rush hour (insert sarcasm here). The traffic actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! I live about 40 minutes outside of the city, and it only took me an hour even with all the traffic. When I got to the city, my wonderful friend and I were reunited after a long time apart since school let out (we teach together)! She is one of my running buddies - we ran after school to “take a break” most days after school along with some other teachers. We did about 4 miles, which seemed to fly by because we were so busy catching up. It was HOT outside! I would say at about 9 AM, it felt about 90. We were both ready for the beach by the time we got back to her apartment!
I hardly ever go into the city - but when I do, I always think about how much fun it would be to live there (well, for about a week. I can’t take the traffic, the noise, etc…).

Coming up this summer is moving (whenever FH finishes the house), getting married (July 30), honeymoon, and getting settled into our new life. I really want to do the:
It is on September 12, and I am certain I will be able to manage it. With my first race under my belt, I know I can definitely make it happen! I am following Hal Higdon’s training schedule. I am going to do the intermediate plan since my main goal is to improve upon my time. I completed my first half marathon with some great friends that I taught with last year. One of these ladies is planning on running it again with me! Yay!
I made a running schedule, and even with Emily’s help, I still couldn’t figure out how to make it work with google documents. Oh well, Just know - training starts next week!

I wanted to do that one but am out of town for a wedding… good luck with the training- I adapted a Hal Higdon plan for my half in August!
@Amy B @ Second City Randomness Thanks Amy! That blows - we could have run it together!
