I got my confirmation ticket and booklet for the marathon. Now I feel like I am officially entered. A co-worker and I were acting like kids waiting for Christmas talking about the marathon yesterday. I have taped the course map up at work, and we have talked about strategy.
This has been a fun experience. I talk to runners everyday, so my excitement is up for this. You get a sense that this race is what the runners in Chicago really are gunning for.
So here is what I need now....words of encouragement. I felt good after the half marathon, but I see the 20 mile run looming, and I am a bit worried. I really want to finish this long run. So any words you folks can give....I will appreciate.

Sounds like you've got a good "26.2 crew" for the Chicago Marathon--that's good, as that support and encouragement go a long way to help you with the mental side of the marathon!
You're an inspiration to a lot of people (myself included) who've heard of you through podcasts, or found your blog, or whatever. I admire you in that not only did you do Chicago last year, but you did the half AND are doing the full marathon again this year. Excellent work, as I'm really getting a sense of the amount of training it takes. Keep up the good work!
