What a weekend in Chicago!  I love it when weekends come together as smoothly as this past one did. Andrew and I traveled to Chicago for this year’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon and were greeted with some of the best weather we ever experienced in Chicago. It made the days leading up to the race so pleasant to get out and run along the lakefront. It is always a great sight to watch a city transform as marathon morning approaches. Barricades begin to line the most popular streets, dozens of large white tents pop up in the parks and parking lots, and walking the streets are some of the most fit people from around the world.
