2013 Chicago Marathon

[SC Cy]

I just received an email confirmation for this year's Chicago Marathon, it will be my first. Has anyone here done it? I'm not so much worried about the day of the race, I'm worried that it'll be tough to find time to train properly. I'm cautiously excited!

Don't skip the long slow runs. You can miss a few training runs, but make sure you have all those 20milers under your belt.

I volunteered at it when i was 18. It's a blast, every runner I talked to said they enjoyed it.
