2013 Chicago Marathon

2013 Chicago Marathon 1

Although we were disappointed that our son had to withdraw from the Chicago Marathon it's still quite a spectacle. There were more than 40,000 runners and innumerable spectators.

Back home now. What a difference in the energy of that city and this one. Well, the traffic, too.

    I watched a Ultra Marathon this past weekend, very impressive what some people can do.

    Sorry about your son's injury, but it looks like you had a good weekend visit anyway.

    And I got around to adjusting my blog header. The width of the header pic had been annoying me too. Thanks for the suggestion!

    It must be such a buzz to compete and finish a marathon lime this.
