I've not had the pleasure to particapate, but the Steamboat Races in Peoria are among the better regarded running races in Illinois, according to my informal network of local runners.
Two Illinois politicians, Governor Rod Blagojevich, who ran the 15K (9.3 miles), and Congressman Ray LaHood, who ran the 4 mile, were among the sweaty finishers in yesterday's edition of Steamboat, as reported in today's Peoria Journal-Star. (It was very warm and humid yesterday in Illinois.)
No word on how the 15k and the weather conditions affected the fabled hairdo of Blagojevich.
Blagojevich, as regular readers of the blog know, is the embattled Democratic incumbent. LaHood, a Peoria Republican, is expected to run for the Republican nomination for governor in the hopes of replacing Blago.
