I'm running in an October Fest 1/2 Marathon, Sept 23
And then the infamous Chicago on Oct 22 to celebrate our daughter's first birthday and our 3rd anniversary!

I do need a shoulder to cry on. I've been having ruptured ovarian cyst issues--nothing like running with a knife wedged in your side and then spending the next three days puking. Plus I have some excessive skin issues from weight-loss that are causing wonderfully painful soars every week. Even with all the problems, the long runs are strangely addicting . . .

I'm planning my first 20-mile run next week sometime.
