The 110th Boston Marathon will take place on Monday
A number of friends of mine from the Chicago area are entered in the event.
Alan Robinson from the South Side of Chicago will be there too. He's the first quadriplegic to run five marathons, according to this CBS 2 Chicago report.
And I do want to point out, with no disrepect to the hardworking wheelchair athletes also entered in Monday's event, that Robinson is not a wheelchair entrant.
Robinson trains five hours each day on a stairmaster, his fastest time is a little over six hours for the 26.2 mile distance.
