2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Diary: some deep thoughts from Carey Pinkowski

Carey Pinkowski is the executive director of the Bank of America Chicago marathon. On Saturday, October 7, as on other Saturdays before the marathon, Carey will give the media one last shot to grab him before the race. So, of course, @runblogrun got him, and asked the long reigning race director a few questions. Watch the video, see how much Carey enjoys his job and how well he knew his fields this weekend.
