Today, I started unofficially training for the Chicago Marathon with a six mile run. It took me 47:15, not a very impressive time compared to the times that I was logging only a couple of months ago, but it is a start. Now I'm sitting in my living room on a "lazy sunday" watching a motivational speech on PBS and getting psyched up for the Chicago training.
A lot has changed for me since the start of this year, and I am thrilled about the potential that the rest of 2009 carries. Now that I'm going to be running more and more, I will probably be writing more posts here on the trials/tribulations of the schedule. Please check back soon and I will keep you updated on the "official" training schedule that begins Monday, June 15.

Looking forward to reading about your trials and tribulations in training for the 2009 Chicago Marathon. 47:15, which is a 7:52 minute per mile pace, and is a great time for a six mile run! What would be your target time for the marathon? Striving to beat your time from the "GO! St. Louis Marathon?"
