Alright, come in close, everyone.
As you know, I've recently signed up for the Chicago 13.1 Marathon on June 9th. Well, I also found out that there's this thing called the Windy City Challenge.
The Windy City Challenge consists of the Chicago 13.1 Marathon (6/9/2012) and the Chicago Half Marathon (9/9/2012). If a person accomplishes running BOTH races this year, you are awarded a THIRD medal! When I read this, I knew I just had to do it!
Well, rather than just simply pay the entrance fee to get my name in the running, I decided to make it a little more challenging. If I weigh less than 240 pounds by the date of my first race, I am allowing myself to sign up for the second one. That means...
I have two and a half months to lose approximately 40 POUNDS!
Let's do this, shall we? :) Is anyone else participating in the Windy City Challenge?

I am also doing the windy city challenge! (i run the chicago half for HDSA - i am heading up the team this year!) They suckered me in with the extra medal!
I'm doing the Windy City Challenge! For the extra medal and also because I've heard good things about both races.
Now that is an incentive!!!! I wish you all the best, I KNOW you can do this. How exciting. <3
The extra medal is what's drawing my attention too :)
Exactly! And these are both races I've never run before, so I'm looking forward to it!
