Vote for me in the Chicago Athlete contest!

Vote for me in the Chicago Athlete contest!

This is actually pretty funny, if not a little embarrassing.  Of course you all know how much I enjoy running, so when I saw that Chicago Athlete magazine was sponsoring a quick <300 word “why Chicago runs” contest, I just had to put my English degree to use 🙂  If you feel so compelled as well, please write your own little diddy, too!

Anyway, the contest is open to anyone, and the winner will get a host of free entry fees to a bunch of Chicago-area road races in 2010… worth probably around $500 (rough guess).  It’s really pretty silly, but hey, who doesn’t like to see her name in print, right? 😉

Here’s the link you need:

Thanks!  And of course… shameless self promotion… please help a girl out 🙂  Much love — E

Akron and _Born to Run_

Akron and _Born to Run_

Both rocked!  Akron was a blast – a very relaxed training run (4:17:59 – definitely not my fastest, yet not my slowest, either), and Born to Run is definitely worth picking up at your local bookseller or library.

More info to come later.  Grad school has me 6′ under this week!
