    I don’t know a word low enough to describe jedarrogante, who is selling 2 2012 Chicago Marathon finisher medals on eBay. Meanwhile 1,300 runners finishing the race of their lives did without at the finish line. No wonder these medals are in mint condition — because no one sweated over them and dried their tears on the ribbons at the end. They weren’t worn to bars and restaurants throughout the city. They weren’t shoved into carryon pockets and shown off to loved ones. Dear Jed Arrogante: Why, Jed Arrogante, why did you steal and lie? Even if you finished the race (the site is down, I can’t tell), why did you think you deserved two medals for doing that? Were you just pocketing these to make a profit? Do you, Jed Arrogante, have this same kind of integrity in your daily life? if that’s true, I sure feel sorry for you, Jed Arrogante.

    Short Mom: Chicago Marathon Runner Tracking

    shortmom:

    westcoastrunner:

    WHOOOO HOOOO!!!!

    I found the tracking app so that all of us NOT in Chi town this coming weekend can track all of our favorite Tumblrs!

    https://tadpole.textingforward.com/bacm/

    Per the site you need to enter in the bib #s of your favorite runners and you will get text updates at the 10k, HALF, 30K And finish.

    Soooooo…..Moxy, Shortmom, Ashamed….and everyone else…

    WHAT ARE YOUR BIB #S????

    Reblog with your bib numbers and link your blog!

    Please do this! 

    I will be in Chicago and spectating on the course (somewhere?) and want to make sure I can cheer for you (yes, you). I’ll probably have a sign and some balloons or something equally ridiculous.

    Not that you’ll need it but I’ll also have my running shoes on, in case you need a buddy for a while.
