that's right! this weekend I'll be in the windy city for the big chicago marathon. race time is 8:00(CST) and i expect it to take between 4-6 hours to finish! so... let's just say i would appreciate your prayers.
i got a crazy idea this week.
i figure i'm gonna need some encouragement to make the 26.2 miles. so... ...i've decided to run the marathon with my blackberry!!! ...as if i need anything to slow me down!
anyway... that will allow all my friends to send me encouraging, motivating, threatening emails or voicemails while i run!!! then... after the race is over... you'll be able to say that you were part of helping me cross the finish line. (it does not, however, mean that you should look for your name in my will should i keel over dead.)
on another note... since i'm running to raise money and awareness for the great work the people do at st. jude children's research hospital... you could also make a pledge to St. Jude. any amount would be appreciated. and in truth... i'm really running because of the kids
so... either way... send an email to [email protected] or call me at 517.914.3195 between 8a.m. and 2p.m. (CST)! i probably won't pick up the phone... but i'll listen to the messages every hour or so.
it will be kind of like running the marathon along side of me... but without the muscle aches and foot pain and chaffing and...
concentrate, randy... it's for the kids... it's for the kids... it's for the kids... it's for the kids...
(if i feel really ambitious during the run... i may post some mile markers on the blog as i go. but... i wouldn't count on that.)
