What a long first 5 miles yesterday...it was dark, I don't know the Clinton route, and I had not done much in the way of training this week. The 2nd five miles went much better so I guess I was slow to warm up today. I did it in 2hrs. 33 min. so that is 15.3 min. mile. Hopefully, in Chicago, with the flat terrain, and cooler temps., I can shave off some time. The meeting yesterday afternoon was great and the excitement is starting to build within me now. I am feeling more excited also now that Kristy is going to be able to do this with us. We have started to run our own race now and I think it is working out not to partner up. We are definitely with each other in spirit! Our crowd has dwindled somewhat from our first few meetings but we still have a good sized group. I wonder what the final count will be to actually run the race.
I am going to start jotting down some of my thoughts about this MM...there have been many, I just have to get them on paper/computer. They are all positive, believe me. Any negative thoughts that would creep in, would be banished by my positive thoughts acting like a "cattle prod" to whisk them away! All you bloggers out there helped me tremendously with that task! Thank you, Thank you!

I am so glad Kristy is going to be able to run the marathon. It is discouraging when you have worked so hard.
Good to see you yesterday. Sorry we didn't get a chance to speak.

That's a good time -- 15.3 -- did you run intervals?
Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the group next Saturday.
