Five days out from just registering for Indianapolis Marathon and I am running into a debate of replacing it due to not having enough time or anyone to pick up my race bib and packet. I wish I would have caught it sooner, but I do not do very well with out of state Saturday morning races due to work on Friday and having the preference of traveling on Saturday.
1). I could always have my sister pick up my bib in packet, but that would be a headache for her being that she is not a runner as well as never been to something as chaotic as a race expo. I could see her now trying to navigate amongst runners just to pick my bib and packet up, lol.
2). I could even pay some stranger to pick my bib and packet up and meet them once I arrive to Indianapolis whether it be late in the evening or early in the morning before the start of the run. The thing with that is finding a trustful stranger, but it is a great choice.
In the meantime I just looked up two alternatives in Wisconsin that fall on Sunday instead of Saturday which makes it easier for me to travel either on Friday evening or Saturday morning in order to pick up my bib and packet whether it be morning or evening. What ever I decide I still would love to run Indianapolis Marathon in the future whether it be years from now. I could always just call off work on Friday and just travel the morning of which works out very well. It would allow me to arrive to Indianapolis at a decent enough time to pick up the bib and packet. Luckily, it is several months out, so I have plenty of time to plan. But, being that I have OCD ( Obsessive-compulsive disorder) I like to have my ducks in a row early, lol.

I am veering towards Milwaukee versus Madison.

it is nice to hear how considerate you are of your sis
The fun part about knowing your sibling is knowing what makes them go crazy. She’d probably be on the phone asking me for guidance, even though I have no idea how the particular expo will be set up.
you know their buttons, but they know yours…
I’ve been to Milwaukee – downtown Milwaukee is awesome. If you choose Milwaukee, then don’t be around Locust St. at night.
Is locust street bad? Uh oh, I’m about to look it up; maybe some Youtube videos.
It’s around the University of Milwaukee. I went up there one time for a party. Then, I’m driving back to Illinois, but due to construction I had to go down Locust St to get back to 94. All I heard was gun shots. I felt like I was on the South Side.
Ah, I see. I was actually looking at a 7 eleven location to bookmark in that area. I plan to look up more videos of Milwaukee but I looked up a lot of things on Yelp. Seems like a underrated city.
Yes, downtown Milwaukee is awesome. Marquette and the Milwaukee Bucks arena are both downtown. It’s like a combo of a college town and a big-time city.
I’am trying to convert myself into a fan of professional teams outside Illinois, so that I can travel to see them. Since I have no team other than the Fighting Illini, I’m picking wisely, lol. Giving Detroit Lions thought because of their indoor football field which will be perfect. Oh, and the price for tickets is wayyyy cheaper than the Chicago Bear tickets. Shit, its like you are punished for being a Bears fan with expensive ass tickets when we all know that they will lose. Green Bay is too damn cold, and I’am not going down to St Louis. I believe the Colts have an indoor stadium.
Lions games are very cheap – if they couldn’t make it to the Super Bowl with Barry Sanders, then I don’t know if they will ever make it. The Colts stadium is indoor and is real nice. I went there about 7 or 8 years ago because they have the Circle City Classic there every year with a couple of HBCU’s playing against each other. It was a beautiful thing. They had Marvin Sapp singing at halftime.
Looking at the pictures of Milwaukee it reminds me of Baltimore
Milwaukee is definitely a rough town besides downtown.
Here’s a story about Milwaukee that backs your thinking – https://www.theroot.com/black-woman-dies-after-waiting-hours-in-er-for-help-1840957509
Wow! And that is a recent article
Reason why we need more people of color in high positions in hospitals.
Indy would be a fun city to travel to just for Colts games. Being that I grew up near (alot closer than Chicago), it would make sense to support the Colts.
I can claim the Bulls as my basketball team, but not sure about the Bears for football
As long as Trubisky is the QB, I’m not claiming the Bears either.
Its sad that they struggle so much in the same area
It’s rough. I’m done with the Bears since they passed on Mahomes and Watson. Seeing how they are breaking NFL records already, the Bears would have won a Super Bowl last year with either one of them at QB.
Somewhere somebody is shaking their head for not snagging them. Would’ve been sweet to have Watson. I’d probably watch a game if he were on the team. Only player I can name on the team is Trubisky, but other than him I have no clue who is on the team.
Cool shoes and looking good in that blue!
Thanks Carol enjoy your day
