The Chicago ‘Marathon’
October 9th, 2007
Well… Kelly, Mike and I ran IN the Chicago marathon as opposed to RUNNING the Chicago Marathon. They (Race Organizers) closed the course. Mike made it in and did the whole thing. Kelly and I got in 19.5+-. I’m disappointed in the race. Not on our performance, but the fact we didn’t get to complete the race. All our training or the lack thereof, we for… something. We were running our race and had it in us to finish, but that wasn’t our choice. I understand what the race directors did and it was a good idea for some, but not us. If they offer a partial refund, who cares? The $$$ we spent to enter ($110) was nothing. We did raise over $1000 for TSA, but we didn’t get to experience the Race in the manor in which we wanted to. I’m sure I learned a bunch and will think back to this race often, but right now I don’t really feel that I learned anything about running or racing. Patience, understanding, and so on. I know that and didn’t really want to ‘learn’ more on a $$$$ trip. Sometimes you race, sometimes you run, and sometimes you do what THEY will let you and accept it. Ok, time to move on. Zoom Zoom,
Chad

Fortunately it amuses as before…………….I’m trying to keep away from reading posts like this. It is totally meaningless. Ain’t it shame to post rubbish like this?
