Description: Random thoughts from an average guy trying to run . . .
It has been a while, and I suppose I have some catching up to do. I will start with the Soldier Field 10 Mile in Chicago. We signed up for this one relatively last minute. We decided to make it a weekend trip to Chicago for our anniversary over Memorial Day Weekend. Running a 10 miler gave us a reason to feel a little less guilty about the food we would eat that weekend.
There was an option to have race-morning packet pick-up (for some extra $), which really helped us out-of-towners. We arrived in town late the night before the race, checked into our hotel, which was near the start, and got some rest. The next morning we woke up bright and early for the run. It was a beautiful morning, and it was nice to be able to walk to the start line just outside Solider Field. The day would get a bit warmer, but the morning gave us some great running weather.
Swag Bags stacked as far as you could see! (Kind of)
