The psychology of marathons

A nice 5.5 with the cousins catching up on stories which will soon become Butterfest Lore and Legend!

Apparently, I am thinking about running the Chicago Marathon next year (2008). How do I know this? I found myself searching the Internet for cheap lodging and yes, I found a couple of options. However, I am not running it without a LARGE training group. Hmmmmmm.... we will see if the other Sparta runners have bite behind their bark. It will give Mike and Tom (See! I did it again!) time to buy in to the idea that they should run a marathon at least once and if so, it should be a MEGA Marathon! Tom will never stop wearing his shirt - so it better be pretty! Of course, I still have 18 months to change my mind!

Better late the never

Yes Fans - I did run this morning, but I also had to "run" to work, so I my blog didn't make my morning 'to do' list.

I hate to admit it, but Sandy, Wendy, Mike and I were talking about doing Chicago next fall. Hmmmmmm - I might.

Okay, I haven't given you anything to laugh at in awhile, so since school is out and the national spelling bee was last week, I thought this video was appropriate. Does it make you remember your own middle school awkwardness?

No rain

Again! No rain to allow me to go back to bed, but actually this morning I wanted to run. I needed the recovery from all the laughter that Tom S. gave us on Saturday night - not to mention all the food, wine and beer. (See Tom, I always find a way to work you in!)

A nice usual run with Sandy and Christy this morning - making and talking about all our plans for Butterfest weekend. I guess I can pretty much count on no one wanting to run next Monday!
