This was my second half marathon. I loved being able to run on LSD. The people cheering in the neighborhood was nice too.

The only problem was I was getting bored during the race, which caused me to slow down. I strolled along reading the signs because some of them were humorous. (around mile 9) The people cheering over the bridge was cool. Otherwise like others have said it is a boring course. It was also quite and peaceful until the end of the race. People did not line up according to pace which annoys me more than anything.

The medal is classic looking. Which I do like. It was nice to receive a long sleeve shirt, even though mine has a hole from the seam not being sewed properly.

I liked the expo, hate that it is at the way end of Navy Pier. It is also weird that they charge to use the shuttle busses, when the June half does not. It is not convenient to get it.

Deep dish pizza after the race is gross. I was so freaking hungry after the race and pizza was the only option. If I ever sign up again I'll probably drive down and search for parking.

Overall I did like the race. I won't be racing it this year.
