The Road To Chicago!
Here is the word!
I, Charles White, am officially registered for the Chicago Marathon!
I paid the $110 for the registration.
I bought a ChampionChip for the race. It will be a momento and a souvenitr of the trip, plus I can use it here for some races!
I bought the "Commemorative Edition" of the Chicago Tribune for that weekend.
I also purchased one seat at the buffet the night before!
I am on the way!

Oh man... now I am SOOOOOO tempted to sign up for it too... I used to live there, and would love to go back to visit, run, and meet you all!!!!
Cool! You went all the way and got the whole package.
Maddy's been telling me about who all are registered and I'm thinking about it too.
Congratulations, Charlie! You're gonna rock this race.
WOW WOW WOW! Prepared AND well fed! I love it!
Good job, my friend. You will not regret this journey!
Oh Charles, how exciting!!
After all the problems (!) last year, Chicago Marathon will be absolutley fantastic this year.
And you are on your way....
Well, a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y fantastic!
Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy dance...happy dance...hap...hap...happy dance!!!!
YAY Charlie! Enjoy the journey. Wish I was going to be there too.
I am from Aurora outside Chicago. You are going to have a great time. Take lots of pics and do a detailed race report!
Cool! Don't forget the post-race party either. Or the architectural river tour the day before, Or the trip up the Sears Tower. Or the jaunt down the Magnificent Mile, with a stop in Nikesville. Or the deep dish pizza the day before. Or the post-race recovery at the many bars of downtown that evening (or lunchtime, you'll be through by then). Or a trip to the pier. Shall I go on? (Oddly, they don't sell any souvenirs of Ms. Brown's cow anymore, only stuff about Al Capone and all those gangsters.)
Congrats on the BIG stand. What an awesome thing to do. Make sure you keep us updated on the training progress...
