The best organized race i've ever been in, and that includes hundreds of races, including the chicago marathon.<br /> I ran the race of my career there in 1990. perfect, rolling hills, shady course, cheerleaders and bands/violins playing along the course. Whoever was in charge of that was the king of organizing. It would only be wishful thinking on my part to thing it could actually return and be half as good as it was before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271998807275036188.post-66708919420161977872011-11-04T16:28:45.985-05:002011-11-04T16:28:45.985-05:00I saw the link to this in your sidebar ...

I did the Scenic 5K race in 2004/2005 (back then they used to do a 10mi race instead of 5mi). Anyway, sadly, they canceled the races this year. Such a shame. The Scenic 10 used to be a huge deal, at least in Park Forest.Maggie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403171228033713629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271998807275036188.post-80496969625099699912011-02-17T21:54:19.512-06:002011-02-17T21:54:19.512-06:00Glad to hear the leg is doing better.

The University gym gets really crowded from 5-8pm. I have no idea why--it's not like students all get out of class at 5pm.

And I will go play without outside anytime (okay, when there is no mud/snow). <br /><br />I am bummed your shin was still moody at the end of the week. I still think it's good that it's not a sharp pain, and more like a bruise. Can't wait to hear how your run goes tomorrow!<br /><br />(Oh, I forgot to tell you something funny in the email I sent you today. I was telling Steven how GRC asked if I was doing Ragnar with them, and I said no. Steven asked why I wanted to do it with your group. And I said, "So I can be with Erin!" and he responded, "But it's not like you'll get to <i>run</i> together." I told him that it didn't matter, we would be in the van hanging out, and having fun! Besides, I told him that GRC is doing a 30 and over group - I don't even qualify! I do wish we could be in the same running group. That would be fun!)kilaxhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271998807275036188.post-26480243832122451532011-02-14T16:37:13.853-06:002011-02-14T16:37:13.853-06:00I feel the same way about THAT yoga.

Then I was spent for the rest of the session ;)<br /><br />Seeing your bike trainer makes me want one even more. I am going to see what Steven thinks. I bet I would find out I am a slacker too. Has Jason's arrived?<br /><br />You will have to tell me about the peanut butter-chocolate protein shake. I just bought some vegan protein powder to try!
