Today I took a little 26.2 mile run around the Windy City and it was the absolute most amazing experience of my life! I had a smile plastered on my face the ENTIRE time. I never stopped running once. I never stopped smiling and I never hit the wall. Negative splits!!! Still basking in the after glow...
Intended Goal Time: 4:15
Unofficial Chip Time: 4:08
I ROCKED that sh*t like it was nobody's business. Full race report to come...
Thank you all for you encouragement!
I AM A MARATHON FINISHER!!!
