My nervousness began to run through my body within hours of deciding that I would target the Chicago Marathon for my next BQ attempt. The nervousness wasn’t so much about the race, or the logistics, or even the training. It’s too early for these nerves to kick in. It was about getting into the race. I *have* heard that the race fills quickly. I couldn’t afford to train up and wait for a long time before registering. So I did it. I’m registered!
