Zach Runs Chicago

I met the  Berenstain Bears  before the race I ran the Start Early 10K yesterday morning. My review is up at Newcity with more of a description of the race. Overall it was an okay race, mostly on the Lakefront Trail. As I said in my review, I was pretty disappointed by the attitudes of several of the volunteers in the race day registration booth. I've only volunteered for a few races , and I know it can be mentally and physically exhausting, but if you're out there representing the group that you're volunteering for you should at least make an effort to smile at the people participating in the event. You might as well not volunteer if you're going to make the organization look bad. Seriously though, the rest of the volunteers were great.

I'm still working on my Vine skills but I thought this one from the Start Early 10K this morning captures the feeling of endlessness at the finish line of any race: Isn't the finish line kind of like that hallway in Poltergeist: You speed up and it just stays the same distance away. And in the case of my Vine above, there's a little kid that you just can't catch.
