Crazy Running Fool

I'm sitting in a coffee shop in Panama City Beach drinking a vanilla latte that I bought because you can't just use wireless without buying something. The funny thing is that I don't like coffee but I'm rolling it around in my mouth right now and contemplating attempting to acquire a taste for it. My friend and fellow staff girl Stephanie Kanute convinced me to run the Chicago marathon with her in October so I signed up and paid my $90. Before I actually registered I called her and let her know that I was doing it so she could make sure and do it that day too. Well, ironically she didn't get around to it that day and when she did get around to it the marathon was closed because the maximum had been reached. So, I'm registered for a marathon in Chicago that I never would've thought about running in, in the first place. Why? Why would the Lord want me to run the Chicago marathon ALONE? I don't really know but I'm excited to find out. My best friend from highschool and her husband live there and so does my good friend Jaime from college, so hopefully I can visit them while I'm there. Kanute and I have been running at least 3 times a week down here. This morning we ran between 4 and 4.5 miles in 51 minutes. I've got a long way to go, pray that I stick with this- who wants to waste $90?
