Oh the Lovely Marathon...

So Whitney and I decided a few months ago we were going to train for the Chicago Marathon. When we first started the training we thought it was a great idea. Then when we had to register and pay $110 to run 26.2 miles I kind of thought we were out of our minds. So we decided to both find a charity to run for to make it worth while. I'm running for team LUNGevity, a lung cancer foundation and Whit is running for the Cancer Research Group.

So we are following a book called "The Non Runners Guide to Running a Marathon". After our long run last week I had blisters on my arches and realized this is turning out to be not so much fun. I will continue on though and just wear bandaids. Whit and I can use all the support we can get as the days get hotter and our runs get longer!! Thanks to all of those who have donated to us so far!!
