Boys Chasing Girls
Ever since missing my Rockford half-marathon race, I've been itching to run a race. I haven't run anything since the Shamrock Shuffle back in March.
So on a whim, I signed up for the Skirt Chaser 5K in Arlington Heights this Saturday. It's a fun and unique race where the women runners, in these great looking running skirts of course, get a three minute head start in front of the men. The first one to cross the finish, guy or girl, gets $500.
These races are great motivators to keep up my training- the 13.1 mile Chicago Distance Classic is only eight weeks away.
This one sounds like a hoot!
And how can you beat a block party with music and free beer for the runners afterwards?

Should be fun! I'm looking forward to it. Good luck! Perhaps we'll run into each other for beer afterwards!
