Yesterday my participant guide along with my bib number (#44556) for the Chicago Marathon came in the mail!
We're 19 days away from race day...and the butterflies come and go. Its been 2 years since I ran an out of town big city race (NYC2008)...of course I ran Houston just 9 months ago, but running in your own city, while it is exciting, its not like going somewhere far away ;o)
Last year, at the start of the Chicago Marathon it was a blistering 29 degrees...while I do want cold weather, I dont want 29 degrees of cold ;o)... 40 would be good :)
Anyway, here is last years Chicago Marathon in 3 minutes...I have watched Spirit of the Marathon a billion times and this video almost as many...I think I know the course as well as I can at this point without actually ever being there...I cannot wait to make that last left turn and head 800m or so to the Finish!!!!

Just found your blog via Runners World. I am running Chicago, too! Looking forward to it!!!
I had the same charge when I got my Bib #. Just stay healthy from this point on. Spirit of the Marathon is always on my play list this time of year
