Chronicles of a Marathon: Chicago Marathon 2010

Once again, I'm crazy enough to run the Chicago Marathon and of course, I brought my camera with me. For anyone who wants to run a marathon or know what it's like, this is for you.

I am from Calgary and decided to run Chicago for my 2nd marathon. I watched your 2009 video as preparation. I was in the 5:00 pace groupbut finished 5:25ish, 3 min slower than my first marathon. But it was a great experience - the crowd was awesome and supportive, I can't believe the cheers I heard from the start to the finish line. Thanks for sharing this video.

@mdrkulas i'm so glad that Chicago was your 2nd marathon. no worries about a slower time, it was very WARM on race day.  i saw a lot of people in my pace drop to a slower pace. it was rough. congrats on your 2nd marathon

It was soooooo hot. I had to go back to Houston the following weekend to run in the cool weather. I saw the Eiffel tower dude too.

Very cool video. I've done 7 marathons so far and definitely hope to do Chicago someday...

[tharock220]

Lol, I caught a cab back to my hotel after the race. The cabbie asked me where I was from. I told him Houston. He asked me why I brought my city's weather with me. It was sooooooo hot that day.

that was incredibly inspiring...i've always wanted to do a half, but seeing you so happy on your 2nd marathon kinda makes me want to try a full one day! also impressed that you were able to talk and film yourself while doing the whole thing, awesome!
