Well I managed a finish at the Chicago marathon. That is all it was. My right leg really started to sieze on me around mile 19 so I pretty much walked in from there. It was a gorgeous day for the marathon in Chicago.A nice cool 30 something degress at the start and never warming to above 45 degress. Absolutely perfect weather for running. It would have been a day to do well if I had been better prepared. It was great to see all the runners for Team World Vision at the charity village and then see the signature orange shirts along the race route. i really enjoyed Chicago. The miracle mile is one of the most beautiful stretches of architecture in the world in my opinion.The only downside of the trip was going alone. Kind of sad sitting by Buckingham fountain after the race on the walk back to the hotel. The days after the run have been miserable. Today is the first real day I have been able to focus on anything. Haven’t blogged in forever. Will start back on my memorization project on Monday.
