nine months after starting running again, four months after building up to 35 miles every week and three months after signing up for the chicago marathon, i just ran my first half marathon!

i didn’t intend to run 13.1 miles today, but i missed a few days of running while travelling ( though i did get in a 5 miles run at 5,000 feet ) and just decided to keep going.

the best part? finishing strong with 8 minute mile sprints.
