Expo/inspiration Chicago marathon

Went to the Chicago marathon expo on Friday afternoon after a nice 3.5 mile run along the lakefront with my DaaD.

The expo was big and awesome- just as you'd expect for a world class event.

I got to meet Hal Higdon!
I thanked him for getting me to the finish of my 2nd (1st marathon in 10 years- Nike Women's Marathon 2010) with a smile on my face :)

I got to meet June from "All that glitters is golden"
She is the first blogger i've met in person from the bloggy world. I thought it would be weird to meet face to face, but she was awesome and smiley and lovely to meet :)
 OH NOOOOO!  The low will be around 59, High will be 75.  YIKES!
I won't be streaking through the windy city, but because of the temps, the thought might have crossed my mind.....

We are going to start with the 3:50 pace group and hold on for as long as possible. If my dad finishes with a 3:50, he will have a Boston Qualifying time -5 minutes...

Saturday, there will be plenty of rest and relaxing and watching of the "Spirit of the Marathon."


And I leave you with a funny video...


Time for some carbs!!
