Anyone running the Illinois Marathon

I will be running.  I told myself I was going to be in shape and ready to run it.  I am not ready.

3:40ish will probably be around where I finish.

I'll be doing the half.

I am doing the half as well.  Current forecast has rian at 50% at 7, 37% at 8 and from then on - so I am pretty hopeful/confident we wont' get wet when we run, but maybe while standing around at the start.

This is my first half, and biggest race.  Looking forward to the post race party.

Was supposed to run it with my uncle, unfortunately I probably won't be running it due to nagging injuries since November. I was never able to get past a 16 mile run without pain (wrong type of pain). This will be the first DNS or DNF for me, as I know I probably shouldn't even try it.

I'll still be there though for my uncle.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

if you see #1545 thats me. best place to look for me is lying on the side of  the road arround mile 22

#6595 for the Half. Leaving for Urbana shortly.

It is windy here in Urbana right now.

I am not ready for the full Marathon, I will be doing the half tomorrow in Palos.  Good luck to everyone.
