Sigh. I so wanted to do this race. But with the race I did last Thursday and the fitting in of my long runs during the week now, I decided against it.

Bummer. Because I've been super curious as to how 312 out of a can tastes...

The key is getting in a long run with a race is to treat the race as part of your longer run!  Just, you know, put the race on the tail end of a longer warm-up so you don’t have to wait for beer.

Sounds like a fun race, and all of the extras make it worth the $45.

Do it!  You should totally register for it.  It’s for a good cause and the race is nicely done.

Nice job! I think I may have seen you two start your warmup as I was finishing mine. I didn't know it was you at the time, haha.

A friend of mine is one of the race directors and I think they did a great job!

One of my friends knows the race directors, too.  I agree, they did great.

It was a lot of fun!   I hope they do it again next year and that it works with my schedule.

Awesome race! I am impressed by how many people came out! And love that they had veggie burgers too.

I see we have to use Facebook or have a Chicago Now account to comment over there? Is that the only way?

Yes, unfortunately that is a limitation of their system.

A 5K race is a great choice to end a Monday. Even if you don't take part in such activities, a workout at the end of the day is a great alternative.
