Rock n’ Roll!

Posted on July 30, 2010December 15, 2011 by Jacky Hackett


The three-year old came home last week and inform me that he told all his friends at school that it was time to Rock n’ Roll.  Asked him what they said.  They said “no it’s not”.  Buzzkill!

Well it is time for me to rock n’ roll and get my Frogger on again.  I am running the Chicago Rock n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon this weekend.  I am no where near as prepared as I could be.  This is one of those situation where good enough as too be good enough.  The horrid heat and humidity combined with a busy summer made making time for training kind of tough.  I am happy with the long runs I managed to get, but have not clocked near enough miles.  The distance should not be an issues I was just hoping to run it faster than I likely will.  An August race is risky weather wise, but Sunday looks picture perfect, sunny and in the low 80’s.

We are spending Saturday night a nearby hotel, race time is 6:30.  Looking forward to hanging out in the city with my sister and her friend.  They have some great bands on the schedule for after the race, hopefully we are in good enough shape to enjoy it.  Wish me luck!
