The Mates' Reality TV Life

Chickadees in Cheecago


Holy crap. Lovers and haters, these Mates are traveling to Chicago on Friday. To. Run. A. Marathon. That's 26.2 miles, folks. So, we've been chatting it up all week about how excited we are about this weekend. Alison, my best friend from high school Drew, another friend Courtney, and I are taking our girl selves to Chicago for a weekend of running and mostly shopping and going out. There won't be any blogging from vacation because of the lack of computer access and the fact that I will be too busy. However, if you guys want to track our progress during the race on Sunday morning (starts at 8AM), you can go to the Lasalle Chicago Marathon website at www.chicagomarathon.com. Okay, here's the website if you want to track us the day of via email or phone. http://www.doitsports.com/results/MSG-signup.tcl?sub_event_id=2161 By the way, you aren't allowed to laugh when it takes us the entire 6.5 hours and we don't even finish the race. We might have just stopped at the American Girl store or something. HAHAHA.
