Registering is registering...

No refunds. No turning back now. It's done. I've officially registered for the Chicago Half Marathon. September. I'm glad I'm sitting down. I'm kind of in shock. I had to register because I needed to make that final commitment. It's one thing to say it, another to fork out the dough and push the "register" button. I'm encouraged by the progress I've made (albeit, just a week of training so far!), the schedule ahead of me (and rewards at milestones!), the encouragement I've received (no one said I was crazy - not to my face. Ok, maybe one person did...). I'm a little concerned about the stiffness in my knees. Like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, my knees need a little greasing! It will be ok. I can do this. I can. I will. See you at the finish line!
