Even though I have many months before I actually have to run a little over 13 miles, I need to decide what race to run. I either want to run the Chicago Half-Marathon or the Rock ‘n Roll Chicago Half-Marathon. The Chicago one is in September and the Rock ‘n Roll one is in August. I am thinking that August might just be a little too hot, but it’s all on the lake, which would be awesome! What do you all think?
Here are the links to both:

I recommend the Rock ‘n Roll one! I ran mine in in Chicago in August, and the weather wasn’t anything to worry about. The race starts early enough, and since most of the course is along the shore, you most likely won’t have to worry about it being too hot.
The Rock ‘n Roll ones are supposed to be a lot of fun, with a good mix of really serious runners and people doing it for fun. Plus, having 20 bands along the course will definitely help motivate you!
