Hey Joggling fans!
Look what we have here. You can win a chance to run the Chicago Half Marathon for free ($80 value).
Sure it’s less than 3 weeks away but if you haven’t signed up and you want to do it, here is your chance. It is a beautiful course which features a tour of Chicago’s south side around the Museum of Science and Industry. If you ever read that book Devil in the White City, you run through the areas described in that book. You and 20,000 of your newest running friends also get to run on the famous Lake Shore Drive.
So, if you want a chance to run the race on September 12, 2010 for free, participate in our contest here.
How do you participate?
I’m going to keep this simple. If you want to enter the contest, just leave a comment below and say so or if you are following me on Twitter, just tweet me a message with the tag @thejoggler. On September 3, 2010 I’ll pick the winner randomly.
Good luck and I look forward to racing with you.

If you enjoyed Devil in the White City you might also like Thunderstruck, also by Erik Larson. Larson tells the story of Guglielmo Marconi, a pioneer in radio telegraphy, and Hawley Crippen, the murderer, and how their lives intersected.
Do we have to joggle the whole race?
I don’t think I’ve run more than 5 or 6 miles in the last couple months, but I wouldn’t rule out being able to run a half. I think the rush of a race can really extend what I can run in terms of distance.
@Matt – no joggling required!
Perry — I’ll see how this Sunday’s run goes. If I can easily crank out 7 or 8 miles, I’ll be more confident of doing a half on the 12th. I figure if some people can do a full marathon with little or no training, that doing a half is well within the range of possible.
This sounds tremendous! I’ve been following you for a few weeks now; you’ve had some great posts. Thanks for giving us this chance–I love the idea!
