26 Miles-29 Neighborhoods-45,000 Runners
One World Class Race
*** The Chicago Marathon 2008 ***
Tomorrow Pat is running in the Chicago Marathon! It's a goal he's had for a long time and he is finally getting a chance. I can't even imagine running 2 miles, let alone 26! This afternoon, we went over to the Race Expo at McCormick Place and it really was pretty cool to see so many people getting ready to run. (Of course, this also meant tons of unadulterated spending on running merchandise was going on - not by us - , but hey, I say keep working to get the economy back up!) We are going to try and find him at a few stops along the course, but there are 45,000 runners signed up, so we're not sure if we'll actually see him. We are all very proud of him!
