The Early Bird Gets the Worm...

...and my worm is a marathon time under 5:30.


You're looking at the Chicago Marathon Early Bird Mentors for Team In Training.





That's right...we're a husband and wife, tag team, big, bad, mentoring machine.

If you can believe it, kick off is on Feb. 3rd and our first group training run is on Feb. 10th. Yes...we have signed ourselves up for nearly 9 months of training specifically for the Chicago marathon. If anything, it'll help us get our rears in gear for Nashville, the misc. triathlons we're doing and the smaller races we have our sights on.

WOW...sounds like you have a definite running start (no pun intended, sorta) for 2007.

I'm sure 5:30 is within your reach. And we'll meet up at the totem pole at some point :)
