I think I've embarked on my first blog...

So, via a long, random message that I sent to the ChicagoNikeRunners googlegroup, I was inspired to start a blog. This, I think, will be all running related with random things here and there--MAYBE on the latter!

Here's what I sent to ChicagoNikeRunners *clearing throat*:
__________________________________________________
You MUST show up this evening (Niketown Chicago 6:15pm Run) to get all your miles piled into one evening. If you’re like me, you will more than likely not be doing a long run outside for too long a period with the actual feel of -25 degrees! If that means you probably won’t run at all…you really do have to be there tonight. There is no excuse.

YEAH YEAH…”but that’s how you got started a year ago in the freezing cold, ken!?!” I also ran from my place in the loop along the path to Starbucks next to Fleet Feet to grab a hot chocolate and then hopped on the train to head home. It was only about 3 miles (a lot back then!) and I was REALLY frozen. I didn’t know then that duct tape around the toe box of the shoe would help with that.

On Saturday, I am supposed to be running a half marathon in support of other CES members that are in Cabo doing the same this weekend. NEGATORY! Instead, I will embark on that challenge on the wonderful treadmill provided by my membership at Fitness Formula Clubs. Send positive thoughts that say, “YOU BETTER FINISH, KEN! YOU CAN’T LEAVE WITHOUT DOING ALL 13.1!!!”

I just thought I would share all that with you and just may have sparked interest in myself to start a blog—any recommended “easy to use & free” ones any of you would recommend? I could just send you a link next time! ;) [And, here I am having started a blog on blogger--this is scary!]

See you tonight!
Ken
