WORLD MARATHON MAJORS LEADER LILIYA SHOBUKHOVA READY TO DEFEND TITLE AT 2010 BANK OF AMERICA CHICAGO MARATHON
The 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon today announced the addition of several elite women to its star-studded field currently headlined by defending champion Liliya Shobukhova of Russia and 2009 runner-up Irina Mikitenko of Germany. Like the men’s race, the 2009-2010 World Marathon Majors (WMM) series will likely be decided in Chicago with the highly anticipated rematch between top-ranked Shobukhova (60 points) and the defending WMM series champion Mikitenko, currently ranked second (40 points).

Sorry, for the hijack, Lisa ...
Will you be driving, Jill ?? If so, might be possible for you to park at our hotel parking lot, and walk to the start line

Yes, we will have the car. Thanks for the thought, however do you mean on race morning? That would be a bit stressful not knowing what streets will be closed and I remember the traffic after the marathon last year.
However, the shower and change part would be good if we were going out with you guys after.
I am going to move this to the Chicago thread and out of Lisa's journal!!!

Last year we went by subway with no issues.
We can certainly eat and drink after the marathon and still figure out the subway to get back to the B and B.
How close is everyone's accomodations who wants to meet after on Sunday?
but, nothing about daytime parking ...

If it were me, I'd be looking for public transit to get to the race and back to the B&B - but that's just me. You know better, because you did it last year.
Jill, you are welcome to use our shower/change facilities at the Travel Lodge!

Bingerunner and I are there with a group of people so we'd really want to see what the general consensus is with the group...half are not on RM. It will also depend on how people feel after the race. I think our plan is to wait for everyone in our group to finish, meander back to the hotel to eat, shower and crash for awhile so the racers can feel human again. We probably weren't considering emerging again until it was time to forage for dinner.
