Chicago Marathon Race Recap, Final Part:

I crossed the line feeling proud. Another marathon down. Another day of getting to know myself a little bit more.
It wasn’t my fastest time or my highest place, but it’s still a big thing to celebrate. And of course there’s always another race to train and get excited for. I know that 2:18-2:19 is in there somewhere.

MANY THANKS

I gotta give it up to my team teamboss for their never failing support ❤️ and specifically to joebosshard for toughing out a broken wrist at mile 5 of the race 😬 (my coach>other coaches). 

Also, a huge thank you to my partners asics coros and genucan. Your unconditional belief in me is reciprocated 💙

I can’t thank chimarathon twilson_chi and careyrunschi enough for inviting me back for yet another celebration. Same time next year? 😏

My deepest gratitude to mgcentro and jacksonneff for helping me through the toughest miles of this marathon. Can’t wait to see what you both do in your future marathon careers 😉

I’m so grateful to everyone in Chicago that came out to support. I loved seeing all your smiling faces out there! 🤗

And finally, thank you to everyone, near and far, for supporting me wholeheartedly. I feel incredibly loved 💕
