About this blog

In It for The Long Run is for runners of all abilities and goals.  It will explore the Chicago area and provide information about training, local races, running stores, and other things of interest to most runners.   

Occasionally, I may provide some fun running anecdotes.  If you’re a runner you know what I mean.  Maybe I’ll tell you about the time I found a domestic rabbit while running in the woods and spent more than an hour catching it, or about the time a deer ran into me, literally.

Governor Graffiti: A jogging Blago is showing up around town

 Oh, Blago by abbey*christine.

In recent weeks, graffiti of shamed Ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been popping up all over Chicago. And he's running. Actually it looks like he's running away from something or someone, perhaps. Either way, he's in his signature black jogging suit, peering back over his right shoulder, looking rather worried.

No artist has been nailed yet. But Pilsen graffiti artist Ray Noland, who also created Obama campaign artwork, is selling a poster of the image on his Web site right now for $75. The poster is titled "Run, Blago, Run!" Speaking with the Chicago Tribune, Noland declined to comment how his Blago image has made its way onto the sides of buildings.

Want to see some of this graffiti in person? Make your way to an alley near the intersection south of Washington Street between State Street and Wabash Avenue downtown. Or head to the viaduct on the corner of West 16th Street and South Union Avenue.

Who would you like to see in graffiti form?  Take the poll!

I moved to the Chicago area about two months ago to start graduate school at Northwestern. So far, so good. More
