99 days and counting...

There are only 99 days left until the Chicago Marathon!!!!

How exciting! I was in Chicago this week for a training class. I went downtown on Thursday and walked along some of the streets that are on the marathon route. I tried to imagine what it'll be like to see the streets lined up with millions of people. It was so exciting! I can't wait to go back, Chicago is one of my favorite cities.

The trip wasn't without highlights. We had our shares of mishaps but it's all part of traveling. We flew Delta and had a connection in Atlanta. It was storming when we arrived in Atlanta on the way back. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:30 PM. We finally boarded the plane at 2 AM. I crawled in bed at 4 AM and slept 2.5 hrs before the twins woke up.
That's one thing I dislike about traveling. I'm just glad to be home.

Missed this morning. Going to do the 8 miles in the morning before church. I was up a few times with the boys, I guess now that I'm home they missed me. When the alarm went off at 4 am, I just couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. I hate I missed everyone.

I really need to get back on schedule. Time is winding down. I find that as we get closer, I am already thinking about "the next one". I know I want to run Chicago at least once more, and then maybe Marine Corps, New Orleans, Hawaii?

99 days, and we will be crossing that finish line. 99 days...
