Chicago will be my first Marathon. Being my first, it will be a special event for me. And of course I want to share my special event with the husband and kidlets. What’s the big deal to think about then? Lodging in Chicago is super $$$$. If I travel alone, even though I will be flying, I can share the room with someone.
