I felt the same way watching the start of the Chicago Marathon. I don't think I could've run a marathon right now. The furthest I've run since Pigman was 13 miles and while it went well, that does not a marathon training cycle make. I think the longest run I've completed this summer was 14 miles.
But still.
There's something at races you just can't replicate alone. It's the collective adrenaline and nerves and joy. I don't usually listen to music when I run because I like to hear the sounds of hundreds (sometime thousands) of pairs of sneakers hitting the pavement. It's electric.
Here are the stories that give me serious FOMO:
Although, I will say this. The Chicago Marathon medal looks like a manatee.

That wedding story was adorable. :)
I know how you mean! I'm definitely feeling some pangs of not having been involved with big things this past weekend. Chicago Marathon or Ironman Louisville were both calling to me...
I feel like I'll have to do one of them next year-- even though I don't really like actually running the Chicago Marathon!
Maybe next year?
