I have registered for the 2013 Chicago Marathon. It is on October 13, 2013.
I also registered my son Zach, who ran a 3:07 in Denver 2012.
I didn't have a marathon last year, so I jumped in in 2013 early with a Chicago registration. 7 Months to train. Hope I don't burn out. :)
The web site was swamped and Active.com had a lot of technical issues, like 40,000 people trying to register on the same day. It took me a few tries but I got us both registered. The suspended the registration after I got in and said they have 15,000 spots left and will re-open it in 2 days. It's crazy how quickly the big city Marathons are filling up. I remember you used to have months to decide and register and now it's days.
Anyway, I'm in with a BQ qualifier as a goal, not that I will do Boston again, but that's a good goal with the faster qualifier times. 3:25
Snowing hard in Denver now, as I blog this. Might have to adjust my training schedule this week for the snow storm. Makes me long for the summer long runs at 5:30 am before it gets too hot. Those will come soon enough.
