Today is the first day of Spring! I am sick and tired of the winter here in Chicago. Let’s hope we don’t get any more snow because I don’t want to see it again this year.
1. I entered the Chicago Marathon registration lottery. Cross your fingers I get picked. If I don’t get picked, I won’t be upset about it. I’ve ran this race 3 times but not enough for a guaranteed entry and I definitely do not have a qualifying time (3:15 for men and 3:45 for women). I don’t want to run for a charity. Why? I guess I don’t feel very strongly about running it this year or I would have signed up to run for a charity. In the past I’ve ran for the Y-Me National Breast Cancer Organization and the American Cancer Society. Well, if I don’t run the marathon then for sure I will be spectating. It is so much fun being a spectator.
2. The new date for the ZOOMA Chicago race is Saturday, August 2. Oh and there is also a new location for this race. Make sure to register and use discount code CAMB8 for a 10% discount on either the half marathon or the 10K. Come run with me and the other 14 ambassadors for what promises to be a fun and exciting race!!
3. I am a member of Team Tough Chik and was recently featured on their blog. Pretty cool huh?
