I just signed up for the May 6th Pittsburgh Marathon. Pennsylvania will be my 9th state and my 10th overall marathon. I’m very excited. The podiatrist in Glenview gave me the clear to go running and fitted me for fancy running orthatics. I’m waiting on my new orthatics to come in so I can get some new running shoes. (If you’re brave, take a look here of a cast of my size 15 feet!) I don’t know what size, type, or brand I need until I have my orthatic. Just like Madison last year I’ll follow Hal Higdon’s Intermediate 2 Training schedule. It let’s me train hard but not too hard. I like the idea of two twenty mile runs. If the first one goes bad, I get a second try.
On a side note I’ll be coaching again for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training Program in the Northern Chicago Suburbs. Kick Off Starts this Saturday in Skokie so I’m excited to start another season and help a new batch of runners and walkers train for their first half or full marathon.
