Just Happy to Run
That's great! Good luck Pink! (I'm surprised it was over 200 marathons for you to complete this, not a goal at first?) Doing the 7 continents next?

I have no plans for the continents. I got international travel out of my system in my former work life. I'd still like to do some odd ones (islands, for example... Iceland, Easter Island), but I don't feel like specifically visiting all the continents again just for a marathon. (ok, in fairness, I've never been to South America nor Antarctica).
Champions are made when no one is watching
I'm in Chicago at the moment. I would have simply driven from ORD, but I got a free flight, so I maximized my flying distance. Which means I have to keep my fingers crossed about my connection to Champaign. Anyway, shouldn't be a big deal. Race goal for me... I'm doing training runs; my goal race (or race season, depending) is July. So, tomorrow will be 3:40-3:50 depending on how I feel with a goal of running as evenly as possible. My other race goal is a quirky thing... I want to run cold. I have tropical genes and I'm cold at anything under 60, so I tend to overdress. This really killed me last weekend. I'm going to try to man up tomorrow. But WIND makes it harder for me, and it shall be breeeezzy. My other goal SHOULD HAVE BEEN "take lots of pictures to remember my 50th state", but I showed up in The Land of Lincoln w/o my camera. crapola.
