Chicago Take 2

We went back to Chicago for Damien's 2nd Marathon.  He ran again for Holiday Heroes so I got to hang out at the charity village after I spotted him a few times on the course. At one point, I even ran with him for a little bit.  He did great and beat his time from the last year.  I am so proud of him.

Of course we ate really well and I shopped really well too.  We found a great little b'fast spot where we had the yummiest omelets. 
The night before the race, Damien turned in early. I decided I'd walk down to Navy Pier for a little me time.  After walking there, I wondered if Chicago was a dangerous city, of course, it's one of the dangerous cities.  Thankfully I survived the walk and even survived the ferris wheel. I almost peed myself. I was so scared.


I decided that my goal is to do the Chicago marathon one day.  They have the best crowd participation and it's flat.  I think I could finish in the 6 hour cut off, don't you?
