Chicago Marathon 2011

If I was not still so tired I would write a long post about the Chicago Marathon.  It took me over 5 1/2 hours.  My hip died at mile 9 and I did the walk/run for the next 17 miles.  It was long, it was hot, but I have to tell you Chicago is one cool city.  They totally get behind their marathon and I loved that.  So, more to come in the next couple of days and maybe even a new plan.
Happy Tuesday!
