I'm so excited!

I got my official confirmation ticket for the Chicago Marathon today! Only 20 days away. I did read through the entire booklet like a dork. If you want to try to find me running the course, let me know!
On a related note. I made it through the 20-miler this past Saturday. It poured (think torrential downpour with thunder and lightning) for the last 3 1/2 miles. My running parter (shout out to Niles Kim!) and I kept shouting "We rock! We are so hardcore! You are awesome!" to make it through those last miles when our legs were dead and it was cold and rainy. The scariest part was running over the Oakton Bridge, which was a concrete and metal river while there was lightning. I am so thankful for my training group as they are so supportive and encouraging.
