2008 Chicago Marathon: Elvis is everywhere!

Elvis is everywhere, man!
He's in everything.
He's in everybody...
Elvis is in your jeans.
He's in your cheesburgers
Elvis is in Nutty Buddies!
Elvis is in your mom!
He's in everybody.
He's in the young, the old,
the fat, the skinny,
the white, the black
the brown and the blue
people got Elvis in 'em too

Mojo Nixon, "Elvis Is Everywhere," 1987.

You get all types running the Chicago Marathon, even Elvis. Somehow I passed this forty year-old ( got his number) Texas man twice. I'm pretty sure I would have remember "Elvis" passing me. Unfortunately, he's not listed among the official finishers, unlike the younger runner on the right of him, from Iowa City, who finished at 4 hours and 47 minutes.

On the left is a performing Elvis, who was belting out tunes, not running, in front of Fleet Feet Sports in Old Town on the city's North Side.
