I'm not doing Ironman, DH is, but I am running the Chicago marathon October 7. I completely forgot about that. I wonder if Maidei would like to run the Chicago marathon? I'll try to coordinate with ASammy1. What part of Illinois would that be? Do you know?
Elmhurst, ILQuote:

Oh my, I haven't thought of overuse injuries! Maybe I'll take her to a good massage therapist after the m:)arathon. I want her to be in good shape to enjoy the Ironman!
Lookin' forward to Maidei adventures with some cross-training too.
Well it looks like Maidei is going to have one heck of a weekend! She will be attending the Madonna concert on Thursday, seeing a comedy show at Second City on Friday and running the Fort to Base (Fort Sheridan to Great Lakes Naval Base) race on Sunday! She is very excited for me to post pictures!
Thanks Catrin!
How's Maidei doing on her journey?
Sorry I haven't checked in. There was an unexpected death in my family and therefore I haven't had much time to spend w/ Maidei ... Maidei is on her way to Southern Illinois now.
So where is Maidei now?
Yes, wondering the same thing- where has Madei traveled to?
I hope ASammy is ok.....
Hi OakLeaf. I'm fine just been very busy. I sent Madei to Bike Chick in November...
Has Maidei retired??? I kind of miss her ;)
No Maidei hasn't retired. I am embarrassed to say that I still have her. Sammy sent her to me last November because I wanted to take her to the Florida Ironman and she arrived while we were gone. Shortly after that, my mother fell, ended up in the hospital, then the nursing home and it was a crazy few months. I put Maidei up on a shelf for safe keeping during all that and, quite frankly forgot she was there. I just found her a few weeks ago when I was cleaning. I took the box down and peeked inside to see what was in it and was mortified to find Maidei. I am sorry and beg forgiveness please. I would be happy to forward her on to the next person who would like her, just give me the word. I am so ashamed!
No worries, she probably needed a break from her travels anyway. I say take her for a ride somewhere...she will move on when she is ready. Hope all is well with Mom too.
I know how it is with people in the hospital. My Mother and brother-in -law are in right now soooooo my riding is basically non-existent.
But they need me now, more than I need a bike ride.
Thanks for your kind words, Trek-chick. I'm doing a century with a friend this weekend on an organized ride. I may just take her with me. She could use a long bike ride. I'll just hang on to her until someone sends me a message wanting her. I hope your mother and brother-in-law are doing better.
Bike Chick- Just saw this today. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and hope all is ok now.
Oh, wow. I've lived in 3 different cities since this all got started. Haven't been able to follow it all. I hope Maidei has been moving around more than I have!
