Good-Better-Best

Good
Bright and early tomorrow morning, my girl posse and I (Modern Caveman is away on an extended hunt business) will begin our trek to the city for the race expo/packet pickup for Sunday’s half marathon. Oh how I love me a race expo with the girl chicks in tow (she said dripping with sarcasm). At least it’s a distraction from thinking about race strategy, pacing, etc. Vendors I hope you have your extra-large bowls of Tootsie Rolls ready!

As you know I’ve been patiently waiting for my marathon shoes to show up. The big day is exactly 1 MONTH FROM TODAY! Waaaiiit! I’m so not ready! Around lunchtime I heard my Drew Carey lookalike UPS guy come rolling into the neighborhood, his bad 80’s music thumping away.

Could it be?

I think it may be…

WooHoo it is!!

Update on Alex, my neighbor and inspiration for running The Chicago Marathon on the Lupus Foundation Charity Team. I am elated to report that Alex’s immune system responded exceptionally well to the chemotherapy and she was able to return to school!!! Thanks to all of you who have expressed your support and healing wishes all these months–it is obviously paying off!

Thanks also to those of you participating in the Power of 10+ Virtual Race to Finish Lupus. The field is growing nicely but there’s plenty of room for more participants! Look here for race details, signup and to view the formidable swag. 

Have a great weekend!

GO RACERS!
