I got my confirmation ticket today in the mail for the Bank of America, Chicago Marathon today! Only 17 days to go till the big run. I am looking forward to it! Getting the ticket today, just makes the marathon feel more real and closer than ever. I briefly read the packet it was attached to. There was a lot of great information in!
I had a few questions about the race, and the guide answered everyone plus more. It told me everything from the packet pick-up to the after race gathering. It let me know about the bag check, water points in the run, parking, and so much more. I am thankful that it is well organized and knows what "begginer marathoner" is wondering.
After work today, I just did a nice relaxing 5 mile run. Most of my runs till the marathon will be brief, relaxing, and a shorter distance. I plan one more long run, around 16 or 17 miles before the race. Most likely a week before the race. Then I will keep my legs in use and run a few small runs 2, 3, or 4 miles.
I am really excited and can't wait for the whole experience!
