Any of you doing this?  I signed up last night...I think it's because I got so fired up watching The Biggest Loser the other night and realized that I haven't done a 1/2 in 4 years, and never done a marathon.  I also really wanted to sign up when I heard it was coming here, since I did the RNR 1/2 out in Phoenix the first year.

I want to try to drop some significant time off my last 1/2 that was a month before my scheduled bunionectomy, so fingers crossed, with some hard work, I hope I can do it!

My wife and I are both running it along with several of our friends from CARA.  Should be a good time. I need to go under 1:50:59 to get into a corral for the Chicago Marathon.

 

Hopefully they measure it correctly this year.  Last year, when it was the Chicago Distance Classic, the course was .4 miles long, they admitted they mis-measured it.  That didn't help with trying to get a PR.

It's on my radar, but I need to figure out how it fits into marathon training...

I used to enjoy it when it was the Chicago Distance Classic (though I haven't done it in a couple of years).

Laura-

"They" said it was going to close soon, but the skeptic in me thinks that is just a ploy to get people to sign up, so take that advice as you wish....

I just signed up the other day.  Can't wait since I took last year off from running.

I signed up too.  But I am doing my first sprint triathlon 2 weeks before.  I gotta figure out how to train for them both.

I'm in. I hope they didn't change too much from when it was the CDC.

On the website under course information, it sounds like they're getting a proposed course approved... that might mean they're changing it from what it was?
