marathon Chicago Marathon/Rock For ReadingFYI, I’ll be running in the Chicago Marathon this fall with the charity Rock For Reading. I chatted recently with Rachael Minucciani (a RFR junior board member and the one that recruited me) about the charity and what to expect gearing up to run 26.2 miles.

A few more links…

Jason, I’ll be running with the Rock For Reading group as well — as a first-time marathon runner. I’ve got my sneakers and sense of humor intact … so far anyway.

Is there any way I can run with you guys through this charity?

I would love to be on the 2011 Rock for Reading marathon team. I am a children services librarian, so promoting literacy is very near and dear to my heart. I am wondering if I did this, if some of the money I raised could go to my library district?
