Who is running Chicago?

So, who is running Chicago? I am volunteering at the first water station and I want to know who I should be looking for in the crowd.

I am. Bib 180. Will have on the orange/yellow singlet in my avatar.

I will also be at mile 5 water station is that the one you will be at?

No, it is between mile 1 and 2.

I'm running it but I can't figure out how to look up my bib number. I can confirm my registration but it just lists a long registration number. But I'll look for you and stop on by for a drink of water.

Bib#1, oh wait, 1635, it's not just the 1st number. Are we having any get together?

You should have received your confirmation booklet over 1 week ago with the # on the back and corral assignment.

Mos Def!

I propose a dinner Friday night. I'll be happy to try and organize. La Scarola again?

Then I will be at Sweetwater as always afterwards. I am going to call ahead this year and try to reserve one of those long high tops. Either way I should be one of the first ones there when the doors open at 11.

La Scarola! I think that should be the place

Of course we'll be at Sweetwater as well, seeing as that has become tradition Yes, reserving a long high top would definitely be a great idea!

I'm in OF COURSE for Sweetwater. I enjoy that part sooooo much more than the race! I don't arrive until Saturday midday, though, so I'm out for Friday dinner.

or 2 or 3 or 4 ????

I won't be coming to the city until Saturday, so I will have to pass on Friday dinner. However, I will stop by Sweetwater and since my volunteer shift ends at 9:30 I can be there with Dave when they open at 11:00.

I'm in for both, it was delicious last year!

At least 2! The beer in the finishing chute is usually not cold enough for me.

I figured out my number. A1853. Don't drink all the beers before I get to Sweetwater. Redskins vs Atlanta starting at 12 noon.

I'm registered and planning to do it as a long run in preparation for New York City marathon. Goal is to do 20-21 miles and then done.

But, not-so-secretly, I HATE the idea of not finishing the race (I am not at all trained to finish and will not have tapered). Part of me is thinking of doing 22 miles and then doing a walk 5 min/run 5 min deal for the last 4 miles just because I want that medal and to be able to wear my shirt later. Well, really because I'm a hopeless perfectionist beyond reform. Every long run I do, I have to convince myself not to risk getting injured just to finish Chicago when I've got New York a few weeks later.

I'll be there but probably won't be at Sweetwaters because by the time I get in it'll be 1:30 or so. Going to try to run with Barry, so those of you at water stops look for the duo. We'll be behind the 5:10 group leader...probably a few minutes.

Bib: 45092

What is up with that??? Am I really in the race? I'm 92 people beyond capacity. Never have I had such a high number and I registered early. Weird!

I'm in! Bib number 48708. We'll look for you Jeff.

I will try and look for you two at the two water stops but I know it is very difficult to see someone with a few seconds to look. I am bib #5001.
