When I try to tell my family how my marathon went and all I can think about is my emotional support pickle that I took from a stranger. 🥒😅
 THROWBACK from the 2023 Chicago Marathon!!! Still thinking about it. HAHAH.
 Adding to the list of things I wish someone told me before the Chicago Marathon...how many strangers will offer runners snacks, fuel, and drinks!! Ranging from 🔥ball shots, to donuts, to pop, to candy!! 
 It was very kind of people to offer so many goodies, and I believe they did so with the BEST intentions, but I had my moms voice screaming in my head to not take treats from strangers. 
 Until later in the marathon when I just NEEDED something salty. A woman had gloves on and was handing athletes pickles from a fork. I gave in and attempted to get it down, I have a hard time chewing after running for 2+ hours. 
 Rule of thumb that goes for everything, nothing new on race day!!! 
 Chicago runners, what have you grabbed from spectators on course? What are some of the craziest things you have seen while running?! 

 4 Days Out!! Taper is hard, I am too excited haha.

FINAL WEEKLY MILEAGE BREAKDOWN👇 In 2023, I ran the Chicago Marathon. And to be honest, my training was horrible. I was inconsistent, unfocused, and though I was excited about the race and hitting a sub 4 hour time, I was disappointed in myself for not giving the prep my all. For my first 50 mile ultramarathon, I chose to focus on weekly mileage vs time. I needed to prove to myself I could do it. And I gave my all to training. Here is what the past 15 weeks looked like: Week 1: 43 Miles Week 2: 45 Miles Week 3: 49 Miles Week 4: 52 Miles Week 5: 55 Miles Week 6: 58 Miles Week 7: 60 Miles Week 8: 59 Miles Week 9: 71 Miles Week 10: 71 Miles Week 11: 71 Miles Week 12: 70 Miles Week 13: 99 Miles (oops, pacing Chase) Week 14: 0 Miles Week 15: 35 Miles I have never run this much in my life. It was not easy, but I feel prepared and confident that I did everything I could to have a successful race. All we have left to do is show up and get it done. T-5 days. 🫡
