Hey Lise...

[Running Mommy]

yeah I can't see why not. I was going to do it last year but we were in Vegas for our anniversary trip..

Lise,

I am doing the danskin one just cause I know about half the field - probably an exageration, but there are a ton of women that I know who do it every year. The woman who put the run training program together took second in her age group last year.

The leaning tower one sounds interesting - that is the place just a bit west of all the new malls on touhy, right?

[Lise]

Right. I mean, you can't miss the Leaning Tower out in front. What a trip. Here's a link--if you decide to do it, let's plan to meet!

Lise,

I will think about it. I was considering doing a 5K that day in Wilmette, but this could definitely be more fun.

But explain to me: girls in the cold pool. boys in the warm pool.

That is just WRONG

[Lise]

Ummmm....yeah. I don't know how that happened. But it's not really that cold. And, I think we do fewer laps because it's a longer pool. Supposedly the "cold" pool is better because you don't overheat while doing your laps. That Y is very cool, compared to my Y. They have the "cold" pool which is only for laps. At my Y, I have to check the schedule for when I can go do laps, because all the classes and groups use the same pool.
