Nice job, Erin & Brett!

Today was the Chicago Distance Classic half marathon. Erin and Brett got up SUPER early for the race, which started at 6:30am. Hany and I went to cheer them on. The weather was almost perfect, not too hot and there was a breeze.

On my way there, I took a couple of pics... here is the BCBS building, where they are building another building on top of the current one. Interesting.


I just love Buckingham Fountain -


Brett said he hit the wall about mile #9 and had some issues with his calf muscle, but he still finished at what he was targetting. Good job! He's actually grimacing in pain in this picture... I thought he was smiling at first, but nope.



Here's Brett a few minutes after the race taking a little break...



Erin ran and power-walked and finished almost right in front of us without us noticing. Luckily, we figured out that it was her (Brett said she was wearing a white shirt, but actually it was green. Not even close Brett!)



Congrats to the finishers!



Hany and I were the cheerleaders! : )



It got a little chilly afterwards because of the cool breeze coming off the lake.



After the race, Brett, Erin and I met up with Matt at Flat Top Grill for the breakfast buffet. I'm pretty sure Erin and Brett are going to be logging some hours on their couches this afternoon.
