Update!
Just thought I need to update this goal. It is going to happen, just a little later than I expected it to! But this one will turn out much sweeter than my original plan. I will be running in the Chicago Half Marathon on Sept. 11th. That in itself would be awesome, but I am happy to report that I have a new training partner that I will be running with! Having someone to train with, and run the race with, always helps me. She lives in another state, but so far that has not been a problem. We keep each other motivated, and report back on how we are doing. It is going to be fantastic, and fun, when we get together and run the race. She is so interesting, and fun to talk to, that the time is going to fly by (which is a very good thing on long, slow runs!).
