- Did anyone else see that guy who was dribbling three basketballs? I passed him on Michigan Ave soon after the start. Crazy! I heard from someone else that there was another dude who was juggling!
- I found all of the discarded clothing very amusing. The highest concentration of castoffs was before the bridge though I saw scattered items throughout the race. I guess some folks got warmer than they expected.
- The brass ensemble playing "Eye of the Tiger" along Riverside Dr in Windsor. Some guys near me started singing along.
- One of the sound systems along Michigan Ave in the first mile of the race was playing "Running on Empty." Some guy next to me yelled out, "Not yet, man!"
- Guys taking leaks wherever they felt like it. Do y'all know how lucky you are to be able to do that?!
- People talking on their cell phones during the race. Good grief, is there nowhere that is a cell phone-free zone anymore?

Yah; guys do have it nice. Never hear a word otherwise from me.
Also, I did use a cell phone for my first two marathons, but only quick calls to tell my support team where I was and when to expect me.
Re: professional pics- yah, their prices bite. I got one when I finished my first full, but I've skipped them since then.
