911. My 2026 Chicago Marathon Weekend Recap

911. My 2026 Chicago Marathon Weekend Recap

"It was nice to be in Chicago and not feel like my life was imploding."

I'm just about recovered from the 2026 Chicago Marathon weekend, where I was in town as a part of the finish line announcing team and co-host of the Champions Reception. That means it's time to recap it all in exhaustive detail. In this solo episode, I'm covering everything I did, everywhere I went, and everyone I saw, from the parties and events to the 5K, the boat ride, and, of course, race day.
