bank of america chicago marathon

welp... i woke up this morning and checked my e-mail before even getting out of bed.  i mean... it's 10° outside with a windchil of -4°.  certainly not inspiring me to get dressed and run outside.  *sigh*

back to the email... so i was reading through my e-mails and i came across THIS!


so exciting!  it will be the largest race with the most amount of people i've ever run.  in 2016 there were 40,523 finishers.  i'm interested to know how they approve people for entry since i got the impression (prior to finding out i got in) that it was difficult to get in.  now... i'm seeing a lot of people got in.  i wonder what the criteria is?  no matter... i'm just excited that i will be running it.  add this to my list of big races for 2017.  no more!

i'm only going to run short races for the rest of 2017.  5Ks and 1/2s... nothing bigger since i've now got THREE big races lined up.  i guess i'll just hold onto the warmth of that knowledge to get through these freezing runs.

Very cool! My husband and I will be running Chicago as well. He has gotten in through the lottery 3 years in a row :)
