It has begun...

It is officially 18 weeks until the Chicago Marathon! Holy. Crap.

I will be starting my running routine on Tuesday. For the next 18 weeks I will be running 4-5 days a week; the distance ranging from a low of 3 miles to a high of 20 miles (not including the 26.2 on October 7th).

The race is sold out in Chicago - that means that Brea and I will be running with 44,998 of our closest friends. You read that correctly - there will be 45,000 people running in the La Salle Bank Marathon.

The following items will be a requirement over the next 126 days from all readers (new and old), you can send these items at your leisure:

• Prayers
• Advil or Aspirin
• Food
• Water
• Burnt Sacrifices
• Gatorade or Powerade
• Encouragement
• Band Aids
• Body Glide
• Prayers
• Song list to add to my iPod
• Nips
  

Man it is going to be a long and hot 18 weeks! Thanks for everything...
