Happy Birthday to My Tot! And got my Corral changed for the Chicago Marathon!

Lots of topics to cover today! First off! It's my daughter's birthday today! She turned two! If you follow me on FB or Twitter, you've seen this stuff already, but here it is again!

My Card Dad!
waddup!
I'll spare you the mushy stuff. But being a dad is amazing and life changing. I can't imagine not having her in my life.

Now for some running stuff. I got my corral changed for the Chicago Marathon! yay!
Not really hard to figure out my name, but I gotta make you work for it (TWSS)
I did an easy 8 miles this morning per Hanson Plan. 14 tomorrow. My pace was probably 20 seconds too fast, but it was hard to go slower in this awesome temperature! Lots of small groups of runners out and I got a side five from from Erin!

As I mentioned before, tot's birthday party got postponed by a week as we weren't sure of her sick status, and it turned out to be the coldest day of the summer so far.

But there is an ice cream social in the park near us today which we'll hit up and we'll head out to Andersonville for lunch today!

You run a race today or run at all?

And why the heck aren't I getting a side five from you? I'll be out there tomorrow seeing who is naught or nice!

  1. Happy birthday to your little girl! She is ADORABLE. Omg... too cute! An ice cream social is always a great idea! As for me, I hit the trails with my running group and ran 14 miles. I got duped by our pace group leader who calls me a Young Punk. It's the longest I've run since last October so I'm pleased with myself for completing it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  2. Happy birthday to the little Miss!

    Great news on the "official" corral confirmation...looks like we'll be seeing each other in Corral B!

    Today's my off day, which is fine cause it's raining...but going out for *gulp* 35K tomorrow.

  3. Happy Birthday to your daughter! Congrats on the corral change! I'll be spectating and will be looking out for you.

    I ran this morning and what a gorgeous day. The kind of weather I wished it was last week during the half but I guess we can't have it all.

  7. Does your corral get changed automatically based on a race time? Or do you have to apply? I've never done a race with corrals. It sounds stressful.
