Thoughts/Comments: Because I forgot my Garmin (stopwatch GPS), I had to pay attention to the mile markers that are up every half mile along the path. A few times I missed them because I was in the zone (or LaLa-land). All in all it was a decent run, but towards the end I was feeling really tired. I'm glad I did at least 7, b/c now I think I'm in good enough shape for the Soldier Field 10-Mile run next week. Could I have done 3 additional miles today? I suppose if I absoutely had to...
I plan to run on Tuesday and Thursday during the week, maybe a real short 2 miles on Friday, and then the race is on Saturday. Also, a friend of mine talked me into a 5K on Memorial Day. It's in this great neighborhood on the south side called "Beverly", and the homes are so freakin huge it makes your head explode. Ok, not really, but they're aboslutely, stunningly beautiful. Every time I'm in that neighborhood (which is every once in awhile b/c my cookie supply store is there), I sort of wish I had a different major in college! 
But then I remind myself, what did Biggie a/k/a Notorious B.I.G.(R.I.P) say? Mo' money, mo' problems! Anyway, so the run should be nice. So I signed up, and then AFTERWARDS my friend told me she's planning on walking it. I told her I'll see her at the finish line.
