Most people don’t know this, but the goal in 2018 was to run both Chicago and New York City Marathon. I had to make the decision to pull out of Chicago– my body just wasn’t feeling it– to focus on NYC. I ran well in NYC but in the back of my head I was always disappointed I didn’t do the double. So the following year, I focused on achieving a sub 3 hour goal in Chicago. This race was…hard. But we did it. Below are some key moments from that weekend.
