A little over a year ago I made a promise to myself to run the Chicago Marathon after volunteering for it for several years. I told myself I'd run not only for myself, but to help others which lead me to run as part of #TeamDiabetes under the American Diabetes Association. I'm so proud of the all the hours of training and Miles I put in for my first marathon. So here's to always going for what you want and reaching your goals. You can catch me out there with Bid number 8805 this Sunday. /// #ChicagoMarathon #ChicagoMarathon2017 #FirstMarathon #MyLegsDoe #BoAMarathon #Running #RunForestRun #Goals #ADA #Marathon #Nike #NikeTrainingClub (at McCormick Place)

“…Chicago is. One town that won’t let you down. It’s my kind of town” -Frank Sinatra

29 neighborhoods. 26.2 miles. That’s the Chicago Marathon.

I’m not sure I counted 29 neighborhoods though, so I may have that wrong. However, I have to say the experience of running through an amazing city like Chicago is something I am really going to cherish. I come from Boston, which is a pretty cool city. Up…

Week sixteen: Acceptance

Late on the post, but part 1 of the conclusion of #chicagomarathon2017 training

This final week the training is taken down a bit, with the…
