Just have to ask them to lower their standards (by quite a bit) :) @Sunil: Thanks. Actually Seattle was our first choice for the marathon, since we have quite a few friends there. But people suggested Chicago for our first run because of its very flat course. Certainly not next year - but will think about it again in 2008 perhaps. @Shreemoyee: Thanks. Good luck with it next year. @Brian: Yeah – Sure ! Just have to ask them to lower their standards (by quite a bit) :)

I fall in the drop out category. Was to run the marathon this year but has been postponed to the next. So I admire the tenacity. Congratulations for the effort, I am sure it feels great.

Actually, people were saying that it was a little unseasonable for it to be <i>that</i> cold - especially during the day. Anyhow, it actually helped a bit. Not many pictures though....did carry a digital camera during the run (a mistake in hindsight) but did not get a chance to click too many. And missed out the touristy things in Chicago as well (too tired after the run). @Confused: Yes, of course, but day-to-day management is new, no ?

Chicago this time of the year is always cold and blustery :) But the crowd that gathers totally rocks. Never been brave enough to run the marathon myself, but three cheers for each one of you who worked and trained hard to make it through. Congrats and look forward to reading more and seeing some pics of Chicago. Congratulations! Chicago this time of the year is always cold and blustery :) But the crowd that gathers totally rocks.
