I don't think I"m gonna do it at all. I"m gonna be a 1/2 marathoner.

That's how I feel. Which is closer to you, South Bend or Schaumburg?
Are you still planning on doing the full in June?

I think they are about the same. Schaumberg maybe farther but I can stay at my parents house.
I dunno. I have to decide by wednesday. After that the price goes up. AFter yesterdays run I'm thinking no. I"m just happy at the 1/2 marathon distance. I just don't see me running for 3-4 hours on a saturday!

I like the 1/2 distance, too. It's much more manageable.
I thought for a moment I might sign up for the Schaumburg 1/2, but I have a 10K down here that I want to do that weekend. Boo. We should meet up at a half sometime soon (maybe in the fall?)

I like the sound of that. Oak Brook was nice last year. and I think Naperville is having one in Sept too.

oh and valpo has a november one. 1/2 training is much more managable. I don't feel so distraught if I move around runs or whatever.
I have to say though I'm nervous about my 1/2 next weekend. I wanted to be under 2 hours but I just don't think I ran enough miles. When I ran Madison 2 years ago I had like 100+ miles in for the month and a few more long runs. I guess I will happen if it happens.
Have you ever ran Palos Heights (i think it is in May)

Just go out and run it and try not to walk. Don't be nervous. You can go the distance for sure!
And if you don't get under 2 hours, no big deal. You'll do another one soon!

Yes you are right Tracey. When I wasn't so concerned about time races were fun and so was training!
