Contrast

What the heck is up with the weather? Today marked both the Portland Marathon and the Chicago marathon.

In Portland, thousands of runners turned out, in spite of drizzle and unseasonably cold temperatures hovering near 50 degrees for much of the race.

In Chicago, the course was shut down after four hours, due to record temperatures in the high 80's. Hundreds are hospitalized with heat-related illness.

Crazy.
