Now that it seems like Chi-town finally got its act together in terms of weather, I might just have to run this one in the near future! Awesome race report.

I was signed up to do that race and had to back out b/c of my knee injury. I had no idea how much of a blessing in disguise that was. But you really did a fantastic job overcoming that experience and running a terrific PR! Chicago is awesome--no doubt about that.runner26https://www.blogger.com/profile/13370012240058974013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899266033543468974.post-80222630385233823442009-10-14T19:26:42.562-05:002009-10-14T19:26:42.562-05:00That's awesome!

Way to dig deep and push through the GI, IPod, hammy issues. That is a true athlete!<br /><br />You had some great discipline at the late stages. There is really no replacepent for positive self talk. I have used the, "how am I going to explain this to my fellow bloggers" before too. It works. I love the accountability too. I know exactly what your talking about there! <br /><br />Way to go girl.

Oh man I remember at my last race I thought D would be at mile 6 ( i made him wear a bright green shirt) and I couldn't find him...I was almost in tears by 7 because I just really needed to see him, so hence I got all mad..but then there he was and I felt great. So it's not you, it's all of us!!<br /><br />love the funny sign!RunToTheFinishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995696358152941044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899266033543468974.post-6505267611653233492009-10-13T12:36:08.163-05:002009-10-13T12:36:08.163-05:00Dang, that made ME choke up a little bit. :o) Gr...Dang, that made ME choke up a little bit. :o) Great report!X-Country2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01543524827265377886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899266033543468974.post-39768111307495238122009-10-13T12:02:38.207-05:002009-10-13T12:02:38.207-05:00Great job on the race Jamie!!

If I run this next year, I will have to keep in mind that I need to get there EARLY!!!<br /><br />I am so happy Jacob found you! After seeing how crowded the race was, I couldn't imagine how people would find a family member in the crowd unless it was planned out precisely! I think the banana costume is a good idea ;)<br /><br />I like that shirt slogan. Did you see the guy who's shirt said "I'm with stupids" and had arrows pointing to the left and right?

It would have been easy to let things like not finding the pacers, losing your music, not seeing your "crew" etc. get to you, but you DIDN'T! Love the photos. You look happy & strong!
