Crystal Lake Half Marathon

CindyK - 2006-08-23 1:52 PM MarkK and I will be there

Wooohoo!  Excellent. 

C'mon Laura, it's cheap and maybe I'll embarrass myself again.  At the very least you'll get to make fun of me again.  That alone should be worth the trip.

Okay, okay ... I cave so easily.

I'm planning on being there.

But - let me lay out all my disclaimers first:
1. This is a training run for me
2. I will be getting back from 4 days in Vegas Saturday night
3. I'm going to Vegas with what I call my "bad-influence friend" (the BEST kind!) so my guess is that sobriety is not going to play much of a part in this trip.
4. Uh, let's see, oh yea, the long drive to Crystal Lake that early in the morning is a killer....
5. I'm sure I could come up with more, but I'll let that be a surprise for race day....

I'd love to do a race so close to home, however, I'll be racing Lake Geneva that very day! (I think... or maybe it's the day before, in which case I'll be up in Madison cheering on the IMWI crew...) either way I'll be in Cheeseland.

Good Luck to all involved!!!

GO WEINERS!!!

YAY YAY YAY, Laura is coming!

 Don't worry, it's a training run for me too, to try to figure out my Chicago pace.  I need a number to put into that Macmillian calculator.  I'll run hard, but no taper. 

And that drive will be a b!tch.  AND I have to work that day....and...and....

Ok, so here's the list so far.

Is that everyone?  I think a lot of people will either be at Lake Geneva or IMWI.  That's ok, I'm beginning to think the fewer people there to witness this the better for me!

Hi everyone!  I'm right next door to Crystal Lake (Carpentersville), but am training for the Half on Oct 1 downtown Chicago.....  Perhaps next year, I can do this one....man, I wish i knew about it earlier (haven't really been around much in the last three weeks-busy with the baby and my business)-it's right in my back yard!!

 Good luck to all of you!!!! You'll do great!

Yep, you're just a few more miles away from us.  Maybe we'll see you here next year.  You could come out and watch if you're not busy on Sunday at 8am.  Lippold Park.  Go up to route 14 in Crystal Lake and go west to 176, go west on 176 and turn in to the park on your left.   Bring the baby - we are baby friendly.  Mine will be there.
