Running in Chicago

It is official; I have booked my airline ticket to Chicago to run the Soldier Field 10 Mile race! I'll be in the Windy City for about 24 hours sans-spouse, then I'll fly home. It is working out beautifully. I'm going to stay at a friend's apartment. THANK YOU MELISSA!!! I get to run the race with (or behind...) my super pal Katie. Afterwards we are going to go to lunch at our favorite place, where hopefully many of my other pals from Chi-town will join us. And much later I will mosey back to the airport and come home. Very cool!
