(The day after) Marathon Monday

Chicago 2013 - I ran; I conquered. Right on track. Pace was iffy a few times during "traffic jams" but I ran with determination. 4:17:29 TOTALLY happy.
Mitch and Max....you are always in my heart. I'll run London (see sidebar) for you and family and friends who survived cancer.

Weather - FABULOUS!
The Course and Spectators - Just as fabulous! Thank you Heidi for being there and the hug! Mexican guys, you were hilarious! Thanks!
Balboa Hospitality Tent - The best money spent. Wonderful volunteers and met the nicest people.
Chicago - Just love love love.....still.
Shopping - √
Food and Drink - √ (and a few nice guys;) and Sabina! So nice to meet you at the bar. I'll see you in SF one day.

Pics below...post race (and my feet were very happy in my V.V. flip flops from my former coach....I know you were thinking of me).

  4. Did you notice that Chicago is one of the major world marathons and yet none of the other races NEVER have great race shirts in your goodie bag or tricked out race jackets like Boston does. Boston has the best stuff. I don't understand it why the others don't do this.
