I waited on service for my car this morning so had time to read my Confirmation Brochure and Ticket that I received in the mail sometime last week from the Chicago Marathon folks. The most interesting thing I noted was the fact that there will be 20 full aid stations on the course this year. It looks like alot of these will be less than a mile apart near the end. I don't normally pass up a hydration station on a course but 20 seems a bit like overkill for 26.2 miles. Just one more thing to plan out pre-race for me now.
The other interesting thing I noted about the course is that there will be digital clocks every mile, every 5k, and at the 1/2 marathon point. The clock time will start with the elites at 7:55 am so I don't know what good they will do me based on when I finally get across the start line but they will be out there.
I got 4 miles at a 9 minute pace in after work yesterday before taking Dotty in for a vet appointment at Best Friends last night. She has a cyst on her back; its been there over 5 years now but recently got irritated and got a little infected. She's on antibiotics and got a topical cream and should be fine.
