Good luck - I'll be running too - the one wearing green - (easy to spot, right?)
I think the weather might cooperate with us yet! Today would have been just right..but it's all about the fun and adventure. See you at the finish line.

Good luck Limewave and everyone else!!!
For those doing the SF marathon, I'll be in the purple TNT tank top. Along with the other 8000 purple TNT tank tops....
So I should be easy to spot.
I have to remember the chamois butter (for blister protection). I seem to keep forgetting it,,,,
Have fun everyone!Sarah

Okay, so we (DH and I) are in Chicago. We went to the Health and Fitness Expo. I'm not really into that so we didnt' stay long. Then we went to the Museum of Science and Industry and saw the IMAX film "Wired to Win" that followed team CSC in the Tour de France a couple of years ago. It was great and very motivating for the Marathon tomorrow!
We are staying in my friends corporate apt. He's very high up in a company you have all heard of but will remain nameless. The apt is only used when important people have to do business in Chicago. So, it's very, very fancy and it's just off of Michigan Ave and Lakeshore Drive--it's not possible to have a better place to stay.
I am looking forward to tomorrow and am not really nervous yet. It's supposed to be cold, blustery, and possibly snow. Should be fun. Hmmm, maybe next year I'll do the SF Nike Marathon instead.

You shouldn't be nervous- you'll have a GREAT time! Enjoy the fancy apartment, and enjoy your day tomorrow!
