Posted by Grace W. on 10/11/2007 on Grace W.'s blogThis year’s race made the news all over the Chicago area…record-breaking high temps, cancellation of the marathon almost 4 hours into the race, 1 death, 320 sent to hospitals, a call –in phone # usually reserved for disasters to see where missing loved ones were, 3 still in critical condition the day after the marathon, running out of water and Gatorade at aid stations later on in the race, runners threatened with arrest by police if they did not walk (after the race was cancelled), runners dropping like flies… shall I go on?
