Banners

Even though I am not running the Chicago Marathon this year, I am still excited to see the banners up:
When I did run it in 2010, I worked downtown a lot, and walked by the street with the banners up several times a week. It really pumped me up for the race.
I love seeing race banners and other promotional items out for races. It just reminds me of how much the community comes out to support runners. When I ran NYC last year, I didn’t walk by all the banners/signs in person, but Gina would text or email them to me so I could still enjoy them!
Does your city have a race where they put up banners/signs/whatever and come out to support the runners?
And just for fun, another photo from my afternoon walk to the train station:

ok, NOW it’s getting real! YAY!
that picture? is awesome!
When I started seeing the banners a week ago I got goosebumps. Something about those banners and the crispness of the air have gotten me super excited for October 7, and this weekend 🙂
Are you having a three-way with a taco and an ice cream sundae?
That’s the only way I like it!
I ran Chicago in 1995, much lower key then. I’m excited for 2013–Laima and I are running it for her 40th birthday!
Um, what exactly are those guys promoting??
I’m still sad I never snagged a banner or a CTA placard of the 10-10-10 race 🙁
They were from GrubHub. Have you ever used that? They gave me $10 to use.
What would you have done with the banner or placard? I still have my poster rolled up 😉
