It's Cold in Chicago

We arrived in Chicago, greeted by overcast skies and temperatures in the high 40's. I'll take this weather for Sunday, but the forecast is now showing a 40% chance of rain with a high of 46 and lows of 33. I'm singing my song, "Rain, Rain go away - come back after Sunday."

After we settled in at the hotel, we headed over to the EXPO where I picked up my race bib, long sleeved race shirt and goodie bag. There were lots of give-ways - I'm glad I left some space in the suitcase.

I got to meet Hal Higdon, well known runner and trainer. I had followed his 18 week training program with what I hope will prove to be much success.

Remember, you can track my progress on Sunday here:
