Chicago Distance Classic Half Marathon 8/13/2006—THIS WEEKEND!

[Tiger Lily 03]

Wow! I can't believe it is 5 weeks away!

It is not looking good that I will be able to go about now. Too many things have come to interfere with my trip. I'm still stepping out as best as I can. I am trying to put steps in at least some.

The most major thing is the latest car repair that has taken away the $$s I would be using for the trip. Sigh. I guess it is not to be for me this trip, but I still would love to keep thinking I'm going.

Hi to all the CDCer's. I received the e-mail update on the new course. Not too familiar with Chicago, but it looks fun! I'm sad to hear of all the woes!!!!

Maggie, how is your hip? I hope you can start training again, soon.

Lily, is your knee better? I hope things turn for the better and you can make it.

Pat, how is your training going? A couple more weeks of high miles and then it's time to taper!!!!

With the summer heat, it's hard for me to keep motivated. Last week, I barely ran... but, I'm starting fresh tomorrow!!!!! We'll see!


Keep up the good work!

Sara

Hey!

I have my 6 mile LW tomorrow, not really liking the heat and humidity, and I hate the idea of getting up early on a day off, but I think that is what I am going to have to do. I can't believe it is almost here.

Sara and Pat, I am glad that you are making the steps happen! I WISH I would be there to see the new course.

Take lots of pics and let me know all about it. I am taking steps, just not for CDC this time.

Keep on keepin' on. You are doing great!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Have fun!
I'll be with you in spirit. Take lots of pictures so I can live it through you.

Hey All: I just wanted to WISH the team luck at Chicago this weekend. Have a great time and a great race!!!

 

[WDWFAN9]

Thanks everybody for the good wishes!!

The forecast is mostly sunny, high of 85. DH and I are treating this as a warm-up for the DL half, so we will be taking our time and enjoying the sights. We will be wearing our new WISH shirts and thinking of you all.
