Chicago Marathon

Perhaps this is a bit of thesis writing induced lunacy, but after talking with a friend of mine, I am currently planning on running the Chicago marathon in Oct 2009. She seems to think I won’t do it. I am currently far too out of shape to run the marathon this year, and I figure a year and a half will allow me to gradually get back into running shape (which I have been looking for a reason to do for a while now). I also have another year of course work that would make running the marathon in October of this year a scheduling pain, whereas in fall 2009 I won’t have any courses. SO, this is a record — hold me to this. If I fail to uphold this goal…well, then you can point to this post, and rub my nose in my failure. But I am determined not to let that happen. I am also gonna keep tabs of progress on here, as I see fit. I even added a category for this. 
It’s on!

I have several open spots available for Charity Runners in the 2008 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Our organization is an official charity registered with the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. We are looking for runners to join our team who are passionate not only about running, but also about helping the word’s poor help themselves. Our approach is to provide micro-financing and business training to individual entrepreneurs in the developing world– thereby enabling them to create sustainable income for their families and build their communities. We call it “enterprise relief”. You can check us out at http://www.gba.org. Consider joining our Sudan Challenge. Availability ends soon. Thanks for your consideration and help!
