Let the races begin (HOOOOOOWWWLLL)

A big week is coming up for the "pack" :) Evansville Half Marathon AND the Chicago Marathon are on Sunday. GOOD LUCK to all running this weekend! The Chicago marathon is a (not so) fond memory of mine. Actually, it was more like a half marathon for me due to the fact that I completely shut down at mile 12. I am sure the girl in front of me remembers it too....eeewww. None the less, it is probably the most exciting race environment I have ever seen. I also am just so proud of what a success the Evansville half is every year. At the end of one of our 20+mile runs last month we ran past Wesselman park to see the Team 13 finishing up. It was awesome to see how that group keeps growing through the years! Hats off to the YMCA of Evansville for all their hard work each year to keep this tradition going and growing!

We are one week away from the Nashville Ultra. I realized today I don't even know where it starts (other than "Nashville"). Elissa and I decided to look more into that today and I think we got as far as talking about if we need to pack GU or not. I guess we will worry about the details next week. :) Why am I not surprised? It's like we have ADHRD- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Running Disorder combined with OCD- Obsessive Coffee Disorder. These are not good combinations! Details, schmetails.....just run!

Good luck to all runners this weekend! If you are going to Chicago I hear there is a wolf running loose in the streets. He's "running around Chicago, looking for compression socks and a PR. And so tonight I make a toast".....GOOD LUCK! HOOOOWWWWLLLL!
