Wow, that is phenomenal. Congrats to Mr. Ware on winning the M.C. Marathon and congrats on a time that is about 45 minutes faster than I could ever dream of running!
They should let him into the trials based on winning this prestigious event.
I know I speak for the entire Chicago running community when I say how proud I am of Chad. And not just because he's fast; he's a wonderful guy, too!
