13.1 Chicago half, Spectating Edition

Woke up early and decided to go run to the 10kish mark of the Allstate 13.1 Half marathon to spectate.  I was sooo happy L and CB decided to go too :) We saw so many running blogger friends out today!

 The leaders at mile 6.

 A Joggler... Damn Impressive
 A lady came up to us and asked what the event was. I explained it was a half marathon. And then she asked (in reference to the sign above, "Who is SHE?") FACE PALM....
Congrats to everyone who ran today!  You all looked so happy!!!

 *I'm starting to think I should give up running and begin photographing the runners instead... :) [Just Kidding!!]

    Looks like such a fun race! I was between this one and the Women's Half for my first, and just didn't think I'd have enough time to train. Woops! I'll have to remember that for next year. The course looks fun on such a nice day :)

      BTW I think the guy in front of the "Joggler" (bib 1120) is John Garcia from ABC7 News.

    Nice pics! I think Pete is confused as to how to act on the other side of the camera, LOL.

    Yay! Spectating is so fun! For shame that that lady asked you what TWSS refers to though. Le sigh!
