1) It's 7 degrees with blowing snow today, and the forecast only looks worse for the next 24 hours. Having a warm-weather running event on the radar thaws my weather-related grumpiness. I know June is going to rock!
2) Washington Park, where the race starts and finishes, is the proposed site of many of the 2016 Olympic events. There's going to be a great vibe there that day.
3) The runs through my 'hood, Hyde Park. That'll make traveling to and from the start-line a total cinch. Yay!
