Chicago marathon viewing plan

Rank Strangers Randy Meacham, Denise Meacham and Paul Miller are running the Chicago Marathon tomorrow, Oct. 10.  With 40K runners on the course and gazillion people on the sidewalks I've made charted three meeting spots.












Paul is running with an injury but like the the Meachams is determined to add to a long list of Chicago Marathon finishes.  (How bad can things really be for Paul when he has this getup in his plans:  "I’ll be wearing that bright pink shirt. I’ll have on my white visor, and I’ll have on green shoes.")



Randy and Denise estimated their arrival at planning meet-ups (Paul's timing will likely be similar to Denise's) -

 
Denise Randy
Start 7:35 7:32
3.5 8:05 7:59
11.1 9:07 8:58
23.1 10:58 10:32
