What Was I Thinking??

A few months ago I signed up for Chicago's Shamrock Shuffle which raises money for cancer research among other charities. An 8k race also seemed like a good way to test out my conditioning. But see here in Chicago, it's a long cold winter and I just don't get outside to run much, if at all, until it hits 50 degrees. (Still waiting!)My new treads are cute and seem to be doing their job, I just hope my legs will do the same. Luckily, I have a best friend of mine, Michelle, coming in town from Nashville for the race. She is one of those gals who can just go out and run seven miles or so and not think twice about it. She can also eat whatever she wants and still stay in shape. So together we shall go for a run...or perhaps a leisurely jog all for a good cause.
