Had a pretty good Chi Marathon this year. It was very strange to NOT have L & M out there cheering me on, but it was also great that Diana came down and found me at some key spots on the course! After 27 years, she is still my main fan! Thanks Hun!!!
Too warm for a good clock time, but I placed 3rd in my age group so that was exciting. I talked to quite a few people during the race and that made the whole experience so much better! Good luck to my new friend, Charles, who I ran with from mile 13-23!
This may be my last Chicago Marathon for a while becuse I want to race the Pittsburg Marathon with Lance in May 2022 and the Twin Cities Marathon (which goes by Michaely's dorm) just a week before Chicago in 2022. I'm not one of those people who can race back to back! A long term goal is to race the Ironman in 2023, the same day as the Chicago Marathon that year, so it may be at least 3 years before I get back here. But I will be back, with any luck!
Thank you Chicago for a great run of runs!
