And just like last year, I have to blame the warmer weather to hindering my performance. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this race much more than…

So I am trying to be somewhat easy to track during the marathon. One great thing about being a slower runner is that you have a much better chance to see me on the course. I just wanted to list a couple of different ways to follow me along the Chicago marathon course. My bib…

So here I am again… 7 days until I run the marathon. As I have mentioned before, I was NOT ready for the marathon last year. Not physically and more importantly not mentally. I let it become bigger than me. I talk all the time about how people can have so much potential inside of…
