I'm officially taking part in the Soldier Field 10

FANTASTIC! So excited right now. I just got an e-mail from the local running store saying registration to all the races they sponsor throughout the year is open. One of the races is the Solder Field 10 mile run. I have been wanting to do this for a couple years but it fills up quickly and it always closes before I make the decision to pay the money and sign up (yes it takes me forever to sign up for races). I'll end on the 50 yard line of Soldier Field and the after party is on the field too. How cool is that!!! Plus I have never done just a 10 mile race only a 10k or 1/2 marathon so it is a guaranteed PR no matter how I run :) The race will be interesting b/c every single weekend in May is booked with bachelorette parties and weddings. And never mind the fact that I haven't ran in over week (thank you 12 inches of snow and the fact that I hate you treadmill). Whatever it is going to be awesome! Who else wants to run this thing with me? Sign up now!

Hi Jamie

Congrats on taking the plunge on what sounds like a very cool race. I've only done one 10 miler in my life and I really enjoyed the distance. Finishing on the 50 at Soldier field is a nice bonus as well. Sounds like you are in for a great May.

Sweetness! Sounds like an excelelnt race to sign up for. I want to find a 10 miler myself ;-)
