... the Soldier Field 10 Mile!

Hopefully I'll toss in a 5K at some point beforehand, but how cool is it for a Chicago Bears fan to end a race at the 50-yard line of Soldier Field! My friend, Laura, she who finished yesterday at the same time I did without either of us knowing because there were about 30,000 people running, will be training for it with me. We've vowed to do our long runs together, which should be a blast.

And a challenge. Laura is eight years younger than I, and if you think that doesn't make a difference, I promise you that when I was 23 I did not feel as though my hips were about to pop outta place from a hard run. I bounced back like a champ. Now?

Not so much. Although tonight's restorative yoga class helped and I do feel much better. Not 100%, but definitely better. Good enough that Glin and I will be hitting the pavement tomorrow to clock two miles before work. After all, I only have nine weeks to get myself ready for a 10-mile race. I'm not going to push it too hard tomorrow but I'm going to get right back up and moving along.
