So, my cycle / run / lift routine is blah. I've decided to do another marathon. So, for both the marathon itself, and the city all-around - do I do Chicago or Baltimore? I typically raise money for a charity when doing a race, so I can get entry into either even though Chicago is sold out.

If anyone out there wants to join in the challenge with me - I'll be happy to "coach" them the best they can. We have about 21 weeks. If you're already running and need a "mission", let me know!

    Chicago, but that's only because I live here. I can tell you that the scenery during the run is pretty.

    Chicago. People break PRs there all the time because the route is flat. (And it's a fun city!)

    I loved watching Baltimore the few years I was working out there. The runners came right past my hotel.
