The email below is what the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon sent to participants yesterday. It is not the kind of thing you want to read. I recall the heat of joggling last year's Madison Marathon nearly wiped me out. Heat…
Hour 23 and finish It was hot. It was humid. Michelle had a 4+ mile run ahead of her. She hadn't slept much, hadn't trained much and had already completed two other runs. She had a 5 minute lead on…
After my last run, it was off to Zion, Illinois for breakfast. The Star Lite restaurant was the lone choice. Fortunately, Applebees was closed. Kudos to the Star Lite because they had a pretty good breakfast, but more importantly they…

hour number 2 While we wait in Mill Lake, we eat at Mulligan's Mill of Joseph Megan's. Six runners, six Miller Lite beers. Now this is a race a joggler can embrace. But only 1 for this juggling runner. I've…
