I just received a complimentary registration into the Chicago Marathon from New Balance. Yesterday I was joking with our PR person about using "exciting" and "sucky" in the same sentence. Well, that about wraps up how I feel. The Chicago Marathon is exciting and I"m really looking forward to it. But, it's going to be sucky doing all those long, lonely training runs this summer. I've been putting off signing up, but now I"m totally committed.
