Three pieces of advice for Chicago Marathon

by Ms N.

Fun race! If you just do one in your life this is it. 1)-- Many use it as a qualifier but the start is horrible. Very slow - be ready for pushing and it remains crowded thru the first third. 2) It can be either really hot or cold - be menatlly prepped for anything. 3) Midwesterners are friendly. Smile at um and you will get a lot of love back.
