During the Chicago Marathon this weekend, you should be able to go to this page, search for me by name (Fuzzy Gerdes) or bib number (45868) and get up-to-the-minute tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and so you can use it on your smart phone while you’re out-and-about on Sunday. (This replaces an outdated app that is still available on the App Store.)

If you go there now you can sign up to have the system post my progress to your Facebook or Twitter automatically (I’m not sure why you’d want to, but you can).

You can also sign up to get sent texts with my progress by texting 45868 (my bib number) to 37619.
