Wow, it's Memorial Day weekend.
Summer couldn't come fast enough (actually, I'm not even sure if it's here yet) with the winter we've had.
I know it's summer when I am counting down my last weekends of freedom. Freedom in the sense of not having to wake up at 5:30am on a Saturday, every Saturday until October.
Why would I do something like that to myself?
Marathon Training. I'll be training again this summer with the Chicago Area Runner's Association - www.cararuns.org
Training kicks off on June 11th, the weekend of Ragnar. It's safe to say I'll be up much earlier on that Saturday.
A few weeks ago I agreed to fund raise for Salute, Inc. - www.saluteinc.org
It's a great local cause that's easy to support. I enjoyed being a part of their Marathon team last year. I feel like it's the least I can do considering that so many volunteer to serve in the U.S. Military to protect our freedom.
Which just so happens to be a much greater freedom than sleeping in on the weekends.
