Well, folks, here I am in Chicago. I haven't blogged about this run for quite a while, because I'm really torn about the whole prospect. I was/am injured, I haven't successfully run any distance since mid-August, and tomorrow, I'm planning on taking on a full marathon. Hmm. Points on my side: I'm very strong, I've continued to work out in other ways, I've run many marathons, so I know what to expect, I have a race day strategy, I've never DNF'd a race. Points against: Well, there is the obvious-undertraining! Also possibility of greater injury/exacerbation of current injury, or concurrent injury. I will, as my sister said, "Run until it stops being fun and then stop." That's the plan. I'm now going to go enjoy my family time with my sister, her husband, daughter, and my husband and 3 of my kids. We'll adventure around a city I lived in and loved for many years, and I'll get to show them things I like, where I've lived, and share my love of the beautiful lake. Have a great day, everyone, and wish me luck in my venture tomorrow!
