My brave friend Jenny decided to run the Chicago Marathon this fall. After some gentle nudging from her, much contemplation, and some strong words from my sister Laura, I decided to join her! At times I still feel a little crazy for doing so but am excited to conquer this next challenge.
I can't think of a better person to train with than Jenny. However, we live in different cities. Actually, we live in different regions of the country! Regardless, we will need lots of support through the long runs, early mornings, and temporary lack of motivation from each other and from our family and friends as well. That is why we have started this blog. It gives us an opportunity to keep each other motivated, to document our progress, and to involve you, our friends and family, in this awesome experience.
Please tune in periodically to count down the days until race day, watch our miles add up as we train, offer a few words of encouragement, and participate in weekly polls or questionnaires. Thank you in advance for all of your support. We look forward to seeing you at the finish line!!

I am so excited to have this opportunity to support you! You go girls! -Sarah
