Boston Marathon coming Monday, my 2011 Chicago Marathon videos

2011 Chicago Marathon, mile 26

The 116th Boston Marathon will be held on Monday--Patriots' Day in Massachusetts. I've run it three times, but not since 2004.

For those running Monday--or for those who will be watching--you might enjoy my three YouTube videos from last year's Chicago Marathon. Injuries kept me out of that race.

Do you want to see how a major marathon appears at the start? What happens when all of the runners are gone?

And finally, you can take a look at the elite runners at the half way point of the Chicago race.

Good luck runners! Stay cool and stay hydrated!
