Somewhere I heard mention of the Chicago marathon. I think it was Forest. Just wanted to let everyone know the deal, as this is becoming quite common.
Unless you are a member of CARA (Chicago Area Running Association) you have to raise money for charity in order to run. Will there come a time when the only way to run a marathon is to raise $1000 and run a previous race, for which you also raised $1000, in under 3 hours?
I hope not. But anyone wanting to run Chicago had better get his/her ass in gear!
Check it out! I'm thinking of running. Must contemplate over the next week while consuming copious amounts of English ale.

I am doing that for the Madison marathon, I want to run Chicago but I'm not sure I want to try and raise another 1,000 $ to do it. What the hell is this all about.
Yeah, I have a feeling that after a couple fundraisers like these your friends slowly stop responding to your emails and don't answer their phones :)
I don't think Houston requires any of this (wink wink, nudge nudge)!
I know you are talking to sixpack but again I'm in for Houston. I figure the only way I'll meet you is to go down to Texas and buy you a beer.
Ah, well here is added incentive to everyone: Houston is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon :) It is also known as the one of the fastest and FLATEST marathons. Check out the link:

I had someone tell me on saturday it was a fast course, my answer....It's a marathon how can it be fast?
If it's flat to mostly downhill the times are faster, but I'm with you there Forest. How fast can it be?
