Chicago Marathon
One of my friends, Bev Hinrichs, 37, is running in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday. Yay, Bev.
Whoopin’ cancer wasn’t enough, Bev is gonna whoop up on Chicago.
In a recent story in the Gazette, Bev answers questions about the race: Ready for a Marathon.
Another Emporian, Jerid Thomas, is also running the marathon and the Gazette article also gives his motivation.
The race starts at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday and you can follow along with Bev’s (and Jerid’s) progress if you’d like.
Sign up to get e-mails or text messages when they cross the splits (10K, 1/2, 30K) and/or the finish line.
