It was about 30 degrees this morning when the marathon started, but there was a new record for the city marathon course. The same Kenyan marathoner won it who won the Olympic marathon last year. Such a chilly morning, but it was too hot the last 2 years, especially in 2007 when they actually had to stop it early. People come from all over the world to run the Chicago marathon. They post the route on the Web site and run it in the papers and fans wait all along the route to cheer for the runners. They root for everybody, not like a team sport where they root for the home team.
