Chicago Fall Classic or the Chicago Lifetime Half?

I want to run a half in Chicago in the fall. First ever race in Chicago (and my birth city, so has some symbolism to me).

Which one do you recommend?

Fall Classic:

Or

Lifetime Half:

If I’m being honest, I’m leaning towards the Fall Classic. Only because it is a bit later in the season (less chance of it being hot), it works well with my marathon training schedule, and I like that part of the city. But welcome thoughts if anyone has run this race before? Or wants to try to push me in the direction of doing the Lifetime Half?

Thanks!

First time in Barry’s SF: for Thurs Abs & Ass, Run x lift with Erin or Lift with Suvy?

I have a window of time on my next trip to SF to do a Thursday morning class in the Castro studio. Either run and lift with Erin or lift with Sully (same time). Do you recommend trying the Lift class? I’ve made decent progress on treads so I don’t do a ton of DF’ing anymore in my DC studio. I like to build in that cardio. So I’m leaning toward the run x lift with Erin. But was wondering if anyone strongly recommends trying the lift class with Suvy since we don’t have lift classes in any of the DC studios?
