Chicago Marathon Peeps, both 2013 & 2014

ebeth, runaways, jordylee, chitownbelle, @vtcupcake, skwcm80, they posted a great highlight reel from the 2013 race: www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152411998316645&set=vb.114154481644&type=2&theater

I'd really like to do this race again. There's so much I don't remember from it, just because there's so much going on! Total stimulus overload. I'd also like to run it again feeling 100%. I was fairly grumpy from 17-22 due to my nagging hamstring, and even though I tried, I don't think I really let myself experience it as much as my other races. I do remember grinning like an idiot from ear to ear from 23-26.2. Most fun final 3 miles of any race! Soak it in, 2014 runners. I hope you get the gorgeous day we did!

Oh thanks for posting! I'll check it out when I get home. I also would really like to this race again, most of it is a total blur.

So I just got chills, and maybe teared up some. I can't wait for October! I'm a little scared, but mostly excited.

Thanks for posting.

OOO, I will watch when I get home from work, thanks for posting! I will say that running it last year seemed like a completely different experience than in 2010. You're right, it is stimulus overload. But SO. MUCH. FUN!

I saw this on FB earlier, and the whole time I was plotting where on the course to stand and what my poster will read.... I'm toying with "I hope all this excitement puts me into labor!" Ha ;-) it will be hard to be a spectator this time around! Maybe I'll volunteer this year instead.

Ha! I love this! It will be perfect, especially because you'll be ready to pop by then.

Okay, I finally watched it. Definitely a needed shot of motivation today! Thanks again for sharing!

I'll be there specatating as well - I'm 'pit crew' for my DH. This is his 2nd Chicago marathon. He did it in 2012 and LOVED it. This will probably be his BQ!
