Wait until October 12 to:
Book a sports massage
Why Every October, a handful of spas offer discounts and perks just for Chicago Marathon participants. At exhale (945 N State St, 312-753-6500), for example, marathoners get 20 percent off any 60-minute massage. So, runners, wait until the end of your 26.2-mile slog to enjoy that blissful hour-long kneading.
With the savings, buy yourself Nike Tempo Track shorts ($30 at Niketown, 669 N Michigan Ave, 312-642-6363)
