I know it's still over 7 months until the Chicago marathon but just a quick post to say that I got my corral assignment already. If you want to get into one of the first five corrals, you have to submit proof of time. I knew I couldn't get in corral A but thought I might could make corral B by submitting my half marathon time. My marathon time was 3 min. too slow to make it but my half PR was one minute lower than the minimum. So I faxed the results from the 2008 Country Music Half Marathon hoping it would get me in. And it worked. Just 3 business days later, Corral B showed up next to my name when checking the registration. So I'm good. I also reserved a hotel room close to the airport. This was much more cost efficient and just easier. I will only be there one night anyways.
Not much else is happening. 15K relay in 2 weeks. I think I'm doing the 2nd of 3 legs. More about that later.
Trying to convince a few folks to go to Chicago and/or Disney with me. We'll see if anything pans out. Hope everyone has had a good week.
Keep runnin',

When you come up for Twin Cities, I will be happy to join you but even though my wife is from Chicago and her folks still live there, it is way too big (meaning people) for me. I look forward to reading your training and race reports. Train well and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSorry, forgot to say congrats on Corral B. You earned it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, corral B for Chicago. I can't wait to hear what you think about this race. So high profile and awesome!
