Chicago Marathon

[bentleywg]

Ten years ago, I did the Chicago Marathon and my sister followed me around the course all day, hopping trains and cheering me on. Yesterday, I did the same for a friend who flew in from California. It was awesome! I was able to wave my sign and cheer at her at nine points during the run. According to my Fitbit, I walked 6.5 miles just from going from train to course and finding a good cheering spot and back to the train to the next place, so I got my own workout. The weather was perfect most of the day, the trains were frequent, and the mood was fantastic.

Glad you had a good time! That's a lot of walking, so I'm glad the weather was good too.

We lucked out on the weather. Originally, there was rain forecast, but it got pushed back to the evening.

Some days, I still can't believe it, myself. :-)

That cannot possibly have been ten years ago.
