@DopeyBadger You can add me to the accepted list. I have decided to join you all for my first marathon in Chicago. I will be running as a member of Team Solemates for the charity Girls on the Run. If anyone would like information about the charity or about my fundraising please just let me know. And if anyone has fundraised in the past and wants to shoot me any tips, pointers, helpful advise I'm all ears too. This is new for me.
I will be part of a mentor/mentee program and will have opportunities to participate in 5ks with girls from the Chicago-land area and that is very exciting for me as well. I wanted to make sure if I was going to do this that I'd pick something I could be active in.
I am excited, scared, nervous, and happy, and nervous. See you all in October
