So, the Chicago Lakefront 50/50 (50k or 50M) is this coming Saturday, and I want to do the 50k sooooo much.
I know I'm not ready for it this year (plus we've got a really heavy schedule this weekend), but I'm seriously thinking about it for next year.
The Dude asked me in my post-marathon moping week why I wanted to run marathons, and why I wanted to run particular ones (Flying Pig, San Francisco, New York, London, Berlin... Boston), and I really couldn't give him a good answer. I just... want to. And certain ones more than others. And while I'd certainly like to improve on my marathon time I feel content right now to leave my racing efforts to shorter distances --- I just want to run these.
But before any of these I want to run that 50k...
(And then someday my S.B.A.*...)
Oh, time to pull out my planner and training books.
*Secret Burning Ambition. Still not ready to talk about this. Thought it had gone away but I guess it hasn't.
@sweatykid: For you, a hint. It's an event that is listed in my labels. If you figure it out, please don't comment, but you can email me at a dot ellis51 at gmail dot com.
