Finally caught up on all my blog reading. It's true - misery loves company, and I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one limping around town today! Got up and walked this morning anyway, just to make sure my legs didn't mutiny on me. I actually like the feeling of muscles aching because they're doing what they should be doing - knowing that it will get better as I get back in the swing of moving again.
Told my charming companion yesterday of my intention, and got some resistance, which I expected, although not for the reason I anticipated. CC thinks running a marathon is foolish and harmful, although training to run a marathon is a good idea. I can live with that for now. It's a long time 'til October.
I also have an ulterior motive for Chicago, besides all the personal satisfaction, physical overhaul, etc. I'm from there, and any excuse to go for a visit is a good enough reason to go. That and the cheesecake!
