I'll be completing the 26.2 miles (hopefully!) on October 11, less than two weeks away! I'll be running a slow and steady pace (12 min/miles) (and, really, I'll be walking too - we run 5 min, walk 1 min and so on...). I'm running with a mentoring program. It's pretty neat to run this with at-risk high school students. The program is run through the MGR Foundation.
I made a footprint!
you can too! http://footprint.chicagomarathon.com/ A few hours after you make it, it's available on the site, then you can upload it here too, if you'd like. You can select different charities that Bank of America will donate to when you make your footprint (I suggest the MGR Foundation).This is me and my friend Shannon after our half-marathon in August.
I'll keep you updated!
