Distractions

So right about now I should be packing for yet another Cali trip (Nhan & Linda's wedding). Problem is, I'm a bit distracted as the wife came home with a suprise. The Work XD9's that I ordered from Wayne and Howard came in for the MR2. So rather than packing socks, and undies, I've been unpacking the wheels, and making a mess before I leave. I'm pretty excited to get these on the ride, but for now I'd better get back to packing...

Chicago Marathon

So this past Sunday was the Chicago Marathon. I had never gone before, but we had a friend running in it this year, and wanted to show her some support. Me and Su parked the car and split up. She took a cab to Chinatown to try and meet up with Jenny, and run the last 5 miles with her. I on the other hand, took a stroll to around town since I had a few hours to kill. Everytime I walk around the city, I'm amazed. I mean, honestly, this place is fucking beautiful.

Finally, I walk my way over to the last corner of the marathon. I sit and wait while hordes of people finish the race. Big people, small people, short people, tall people. Seeing these people at the end of the 26 mile run is pretty inspiring. Its gotta be tough, and you probably have like the craziest battle inside mentally to quit. I know that this race passes right by Al's Italian beef. Even if either me, Steve, or Justin had the balls to run this thing, it'd be over right then and there at Al's with a large combo beef, hot peppers, and fries.

Anyhow, I finally see Jenny and Su running up the street. I jump in and take some photos and we both cheer her on to the finish. Great job Jenny Jackabeezy we're proud of ya!
