22 Weeks yesterday and counting! It'll be my first marathon... eeek!
Just wondered who else, besides a couple that I've talked to, is planning on going to Chicago this year?

I won't run any race in Chicago until the city pays me the money they owe me (couple hundred dollars).
That said, our running club does man a water stop. Last year, as Pfffff and Poky can attest, it was mile 23, just past the Cell. Don't know if we'll get the same spot again, but assuming we're doing it, I'll be there.

I'm running it. It will be my second marathon.
I'm looking forward to it, but I'm sure that will change as I get closer to the race

I may come up to visit. I'm not planning on running it though. I have too many races already scheduled for that time frame.
Maybe I'll finally meet Pff and gretriever. After last year's near misses, I think we can do it this time.

 I wanna come!!!! I missed the Madtown crew this year.....sniffle....but there are no smaller races or relays, are there? My training is so NOT appropriate for the full monty.
Bring lotsa $$ --- Chitown is 'spensive. I think there is a crew from CR going, IR and Mattie and such too.

Hmmm.....this has possibilities.....what's the date this year?
If not, who needs an excuse to go to Chicago?
Wonder the Blue Men have a show that weekend?? :scurries off to look:

Ohh! I can add Poky to the list of near misses that I may get to actually meet!
And Bpdou will be able to be taken off the list of near misses. Yes, bpdou, I was in Indy for the mini. I did the 13.1 run though.
