What the Phở!

Running season is once again upon us. There is no magical date that marks the beginning of this running season, just magical events.

16 Feb - I was online and ready to register for the 8k Shamrock Shuffle, but decided to wait until my roommate got home to make sure we both registered. 4 hours later, registration for the Shamrock Shuffle Closed.

23 Feb - Team 2 End AIDS - My Britney Spears Moment - I received a call last week from last year's marathon coach, and he had a 'Deal' for me. If I signed up to run the Chicago Marathon right then and there, they would waive the $100 registration fee. What a DEAL! Truthfully, I was already planning to run the Chicago Marathon. However, I was still trying to decide if I would run it with TFKATAMTPNKAT2EA (the Team Formerly Known As The AIDS Marathon Training Program Now Known As Team 2 End AIDS.) The fundraising commitment is worrisome since last year I didn't meet my fundraising goal and this year I can't afford not to meet it. But the benefits of running for a cause and running with a great training group and program seem to outweigh my financial concerns. I signed up. (Oops I did it again!)

1 Mar - I get a call that my roommate and I have both received free entry into the Shamrock Shuffle from Team 2 End AIDS - Running Season Begins!

To mark the beginning of running season, Amanda and I took a 2.5 mile run up to Tank Noodle where we celebrated with a round of water and a couple orders of Phở. Running season has officially begun!
