Chicago marathon

The Historic Chicago Marathon

Posted by Grace W. on 10/11/2007 on Grace W.'s blog

This 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?

What to do If You've 'No' Talent

http://www.yourrunning.com/blog-what_to_do_if_youve_no_talent_0

African runners made a clean sweep of the top ten places in last weekend's Chicago marathon -- except for Brian Sell, who grabbed sixth in a personal best 2:10:47.

Sell describes himself as "a redneck from the Cove that likes to run" and is a role model for anyone who wants to know how to succeed through sheer hard work.
