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!).

Tim,
This sounds great. I hope both of you have a wonderful run. Is there more here than just a running partner? I hope so!
Linda
How exciting for you both!! You go Tim! Good luck and enjoy every minute of it with your training partner. I\'ll be thinking about you!
Kate
A motivational, interesting training partner sounds pretty good to me. Nice find, Tim.
I hope you both do well in the marathon. TJ
Thanks for the replies, and the encouragement!
Linda you are some kind of perceptive, or else I didnt do a very good job of hiding my feelings. I thought I was being coy! Truth is, there is much more here than just a training partner. But that will have to wait for another journal, or another forum!
Kate thanks for the good luck wish. Im sure we will enjoy every minute of it. Were already counting down the days!
TJ I didnt find her, she found me! I definitely think we had help from above. I cant believe how lucky I am!
Tim-
Good luck! Sounds like you\'ll have fun AND reach your goal--what a great combo! The Chicago course is perfect and your training partner sounds like one lucky gal. You\'ll have to post a picture of the two of you at the finish line. Keep up the training and let us know how 9/11 goes.
