You made it to Friday, Chicago. Run home!.
That is unless you're running the Chicago Marathon Sunday, in which case it's probably a good idea to take it easy and carb up. Either way, this week's RedEye Rundown has 26.2 miles of crazy to keep you busy until the weekend starts.

>>PSA: RedEye will be right back
Speaking of the Chicago Marathon, you may have noticed your friendly neighborhood RedEye box has been moved. Don't worry, they'll be back. They just might have been moved from various locations along the race route. In the mean time, head on over to our website (STAY RIGHT HERE.) for your fix. The city can never temporarily relocate that--we don't think. Also, if you're disturbed by how much the guy in the picture seems to enjoy our boxes, you really, really shouldn't watch this video.
