Throwing it back to 5 years ago this weekend when I ran the @chimarathon. . And yes that’s me drinking a beer ...like I’m drinking tea...at the finish area. I’m not a beer drinker ( can’t you tell) but when it’s tradition, everyone around is drinking, it’s cold & free and you are soooo thirsty you enjoy a sip - I had to make sure it was caught on camera too. . It’s a shame that another great marathon event has been cancelled. The route takes runners through the downtown s...treets - it’s quite something. So many fans! And the weather this time of year is so ideal for a marathon. . There are 6 World Marathon Majors. Chicago was my 3rd ( I have run Boston and New York) of the 6. My goal is to complete all 6. The other 3 are in London, Berlin & Tokyo. With the state of world right now this goal has proven to be more challenging. I will get to these 3 events but it may take me a little longer than I originally anticipated. . Anyone else out there have a goal that has been postponed by this pandemic? How are you dealing with it. Feel free to comment . . #throwbackthursday #chicagomarathon2015 #worldmajors #covid_19sucks #goalsetting #london #berlin #tokyo See more
