Oak Brook Half Marathon - year two. Generally speaking a well run race other than someone forgetting the timing tags for the "day of" registration. Can't fault the race organizers entirely. A ton of people showing up really late and more than usual race day registrations. Odd. Anywho - prerace prep out the window. They started the race 20 minutes late (????). But once we got going I have to say there was lot of course volunteers and lots of people out cheering. The aid stations were run really well. It was really good to run a race with that much support. What suprised me most were the hills. This was a really challenging course. Some road, some sidewalk, some paved path some crushed limestone - wooded areas, golf course and park. Really nice race.

Major props to Jen for running a 20 mile training run on Saturday recovering on the bike trainer yesterday and then rocking the 1/2 today. Wow. Good to see Laura out there running as well.
