Chicago Marathon recap
First and foremost we finished! 26.2 miles in the heat with the sun blazing down the entire time.
It was hot. But hot or not, we did it.
Now the thank you notes.
Advocate Health Care what an amazing hospitality tent at the race. Friendly people, food, coffee, water, private gear check and the ever important porta potties.
Donors - all of you that helped us reach our fundraising goals.
Family / the best support crew in the world.
You dashing about downtown to see us in multiple spots made all the difference. The energy you brought, sips of coke, candy bars, kisses from the little nugget, and hugs carried us over the hard parts.
The ice cold b**r at mile 25.2 was icing on the cake and just the boost I needed.
Thank you to my beautiful and amazing wife for coming up with this crazy idea.
Do hard things
