Friday Ramble.
First and foremost...thank you to everyone for all of your kind words and thoughts. I truly do appreciate it the comments and e-mails. I'll keep you posted as the situation unfolds.
The initial plan yesterday was to run 6 miles. But when I got home from work...I joined Mike and the couch and the two of us passed the heck out. Lack of sleep is really starting to catch up on me. When we finally got moving by 7:30, I made dinner, watched our obligatory reality tv show of the night, and decided laundry had to be done.
By the time 10 rolls around I'm feeling super guilty for not bucking up and running, so I head down to the "gym" in our building (and I use gym loosely as we have a few weights and some older machines). I can't bring myself to run on the treadmill, since it typically makes me insane...so I did some upper body weight work and hopped on the stationary bike.
40 minutes and 14.5 miles later...I peeled off, showered and went to bed...happy that at least I went out and did SOMETHING, even though it wasn't running. I figure it still counts, right? (This is the part where I should be called out...I slacked...I bailed on a run...BAD BARB.)
For those of you planning on running on Sunday morning...we'll be helping out at the Fleet Feet water stop on the inner running path along the lakefront at Diversy. Come stop by and say "hi."
And a quick note for the Chicago-Bound folks...
October tickets to see WICKED went on sale this morning. You can pick up some really great seats for the Friday night 8pm show. If you haven't had the chance to see it yet, you definitely should. If you're coming to Chicago, you may as well make a fun weekend out of it...right?

Wicked...as in the marathon race weekend? That show was was in Cincy foor 4 straight months and sold out every single night!
Great job for doing something yesterday, and yes IT counts!!
Kewl. Thanks for the heads-up on that - my wife really wants to see it, so I am going to check and see if I can find a way to make it work.
Yes, Sue...the weekend of the Marathon! I snagged tickets for Friday night's show--row N. I can't wait!
It'll sell out, too. But I figured I'd throw the suggestion out before word spreads like wildfire that more are available.
Way to go you are doing better than me as far as working out goes!
Diversy may be to far for Scooter - he is a sad pup!
Barb,
I am glad that you got out - even at 10 pm - to go do something even if it's not running. Cross-training is still good and counts as something done.
I'll be running with CARA on Sunday morning and swinging by the Diversey water stop. Look out for me.
P.S. I still have to give you my CD for the RBF music exchange. I know I missed the deadline. Can I still drop it by your place?
Hey,
Just to let you know, my mom and my sister (remember she's adopted from Ethiopia?) and my sister-in-law (way too much info, I know) are all coming to Chicago the last weekend in August to see Wicked. I was going to e-mail you and see if you would be interested in a Chicago running tour with your's truly! But then you went and posted about Wicked and I just had to spill the beans, so e-mail me and let me know if you want to meet me!(no pressure!) :)The date isn't set in stone, but I'd love to run with my favorite running jayhawk!
Good for you for getting something done. And yes, it does count even if it wasn't a run. Great job!
Hmmm...that's not a bad idea.
Oh I love Wicked! Have to see if it is in the budget to go!
