Ran in Chicago today.  Saw another woman 3 times on my run--had just enough time to figure out that we're both running the Chicago marathon.

I had a baptism today, had limited time to run, but I'm okay with what I got in.  This run felt easy.  When I first started I wasn't in a running mood, but after I stopped for a bathroom break (during which I went to the bathroom and then helped Chuck with the kids) I felt better.  By the time I was done, I wished that I hadn't put off my run for 1/2 hour while I supposedly digested, but really was just dragging my feet. 

Oh well.  Coulda, shoulda, woulda...didn't.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda got out a little earlier. But at least you got out and ran.

I enjoy seeing other runners.

When is the Chicago marathon? (I could figure it out, but I'll just ask you.)

Thanks for the encouragement. I have a tendency to beat myself up when I don't get in as much mileage as I planned, especially since most of the time it's because I'm dragging my feet!

Chicago is October 12. About a month left. I think I just need to be confident that I'm ready to run it--I think I am but it's getting harder to get mileage in!

But FYI, your comments are helpful! Thank you!
