Oops, I Did it Again

Posted on August 6, 2010December 15, 2011 by Jacky Hackett
Signed up for another race too quickly on the heels of the last race.  Another half marathon.  Will I never learn?  I have been in search of my next race, but nothing has caught my eye.  A few non-local options I was intrigued by, though not sure I could make a reality.  A friend emailed a group of us today to let us know the Chicago Half Marathon was still accepting runners.  I assumed it was closed so never seriously considered doing this race.  I was immediately tempted.  On the heels of the disappointment of not making my goal time at the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon I really wanted to redeem myself.
Yep, I signed up.  Five weeks to train.  Guess I will be packing the running gear for vacation after all.
