chicago 2012 marathon

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve signed up for the Chicago 2012 Marathon with Team To End AIDS or my donation page–PLEASE! every bit helps!). It’s a bit of an unusual choice, probably, to not run for the American Lung Association(I have asthma) or the American Cancer Society(my dad is a survivor.) But it’s actually been a good opportunity to learn a bit more about the current state of AIDS, AIDS policy, and what it’s like to live with it. I’ve also had some really good discussions about it with people it would not have come up, so it has been nice all around.

In my running, I have been trying to keep track in kilometers. This presents a couple problems: Somehow, my mind still thinks in miles, which is weird because I do not really have /that/ good of an idea exactly how far a mile is, either. Or someone wants to know how far a 5k is. Or, when I was running the 2011 Chicago Marathon, there would be kilometer postings between the mile markers. Anyway, it is handy to convert between them, but a bit of a pain.
