So Patrick is venturing off on Thursday morning to participate in the MC200. What's the MC200 you ask? Madison to Chicago 200 mile relay. No, that wasn't a typo... 200 miles. Patrick will be part of a team of 11 running, running, running all day and night. And, instead of riding in a van all the way up to Madison, Pat will be biking approximately 80 miles. Go. Pat. Go.
They will arrive back in Chicago sometime on Saturday and then he will be able to take a breather BEFORE... the Wilmette 1/2 marathon on Sunday. So, when you are sitting around on Saturday thinking "Man, I'm tired and need a nap", think of Pat, get off your butt and do something! :-)
If you get a chance, please send him some good wishes, luck, love, whatever!
