It's Official!!

As I blogged about before, I’ve joined the Kingdom Running Club (KRC) and will be participating in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 9, 2011.

So for the past few months, we’ve met once a week to receive mind renewal teachings, gear and nutrition and other information. It’s been interesting, getting used to getting up early, by 7:30am, and applying the information. I’d looked over the schedule and had been thinking that I had plenty of time to mentally prepare for actually running. I mean, the schedule clearly indicated “Running on lakefront – April 30th”. Well imagine my surprise when I received the weekly KRC email on Wednesday March 23rd, which indicated that we were to arrive at 6:30am and be prepared to run around the mall where we meet on Saturday March 26th!. “Be ready to what?!” Aw man! I showed up slightly late but ready. After a stretch, we were off! I actually ran for a block or so, and then began to power walk. After a few minutes I ran again. And I went back and forth until I completed my one time around which was the equivalent of 1.2 miles. It was great AND awful! My thighs were sore for two days! But you know what, it’s all good, its official I’m on my way! Wooooo Hooooo!
