Kerri Wintle	$250.00	"I am very jealous that you get to do Chicago for your very first marathon but I think the amount of crowd it will bring will be perfect for you. The best piece of advice I can give you is to suck up the energy of the crowd and try to enjoy everything around you. It is an incredible opportunity to have traffic shut down just so that you can run through the streets of such a magnificent city. You can pretend like they did it all for you...oh yeah, and for those elite runners as well ;) Good luck! May the force be with you! Love your favorite girls, Kerri, Ashley, Avery, Kate & Emerson"
