runner's high

still trying to catch up after spending the past weekend in chicago watching my beloved run her 5th marathon. an awesome, inspiring event. erin and our friend bryan (fellow hoya M'97) ran on sunday, while their respective spouses (myself and bryan's wife cindy) and a gaggle of other hoyas were in attendance to cheer them on. one of them went so far as to run the last 6.2 with erin- thanks, maguire.

the chicago marathon is truly a spectacle. 33,000 people running a viewer-friendly course through a great city. so inspiring, in fact, that i've pledged to run it next year. a while back i ran the san diego marathon and while it was certainly an achievement, the entirety of the event itself coupled with my less-than-kenyan performance made me immediately want to have another crack at a marathon someday. so here i am, 8 years later, finally with enough inspiration to make it happen.

thanks, erin.
