Chicago Marathon
10/08/07 01:38 PM *Adventure
This is one marathon I
would like to run someday since I'm from the Chicago
area. It's a fast course so my (tentative) plan is to
run it in October '09 and qualify for Boston the
following spring. Since I turn 55 in '09 the
qualifying standard for Boston will become a little
easier for me that year and I expect to be right on
the bubble.
I'm glad I didn't run yesterday as it was the hottest CM ever (88 degrees with 80% humidity) and entrants were more likely to end up in the hospital (hundreds did, one died) than get a PR. But if you don't think marathons are exciting, check out these finishes from yesterday's men's and women's races for first place:
