Chicago Marathon - Hot, Hot, Hot

It seems as though I am the only person not to blog about the 2007 Chicago Marathon. In a nutshell... it was way to hot, course was closed, many DNFs, time goals out the window. Here are some links that I think do a good job of explaining:

• Running Jayhawk's personal account of her experience
• Denver Marathon waives registration for Chicago runners
• News from the Chicago Tribune

Congratulations to Paul, who I trained for Boston with, on finishing the race. Incredible job!

Deepest sympathies for the family of the man who passed during the race. Whether it was a pre-existing condition (which seems to be the news now), the heat, or a combination of both, it is never easy to deal with a lossed loved one. My thoughts are with you.
