It was great to see so many at Pfeifer Park this morning for the 14 miler. Don, we missed you. We hope you had a great time running with your buddies along the St. Croix River in MN. Sid, thanks for organizing and placing the water/gatorade this morning. Keith Sandvold did a great job giving some real practical tips for the Chicago marathon (which he has done 2 times). The tips that stuck in my mind:
1. Most people are right handed and will go right for water stops. So, go left...and go to the end because many runners stop toward the beginning of the water stop. You might find more liquid and find it faster if you go left and to the end of those stops.
2. At 1/2 marathon, you're still feeling pretty good so smile big for those pictures that get taken and sent to you by race photographers. You might not be looking quite as fresh at mile 26 when the photos are flashing. Keith has framed one of his 13 mile shots from the marathon. :)
