going for the brass ring

I dunno if you guys have every been on a merri-go-round where you have to snag a brass ring.  It was all that an a bag of potatoe chips, but then again, when I snagged the ring...no tatoe chips and nada.  Tho, not this time my peeps!  2011 is my year to make do or shut the hell up for a bit of time.  Not like I talk about my running too much, tho I have had hints from FB friends that I do tend to talk/whine and what not about running...but whaaatevah!!  I've decided to go for the frickin brass ring.  Hell w/that..how bout the gold or platinum ring instead? 

I'm gonna hit or kill myself trying, tho my coach will have to keep me from being to anal and killing myself...just saying Bri.  Anyhow, I'm hitting it!.  I'm going for Qualifying for Boston this time around, and hopefully at the same time hitting NYC times, so I can either make a choice or go for broke with both in the same year.  Tho, there is a lottery, which really sucks, but it is what it is....I'm striving for a NYC time in my age bracket of 3:38 marathon time.  If I don't get to mixed up in the numbers and just remind myself it is a day in and day out process I should succeed. 

I haven't told too many peeps about my Chicago Marathon plans.  Not even my hub's knows.  Tho T does know, cuz I plan on camping on her couch and having a touristy experience of Chicago.  No I have never been, but damn it...I will be visiting this next fall that is for sure.  I don't know which I'm more excited about, visiting T or doing the marathon in frickin Chicago!! 

Tho, I still have to register and all that, but it doesn't seem half as bad as trying to get into other BQ races like St. George, etc.

Wish me luck in training and registering this next yr.  Whoooohoooo....goin to Chicago...goin to Chicago......
