670. My 2023 Chicago Marathon Weekend Recap

670. My 2023 Chicago Marathon Weekend Recap

"This weekend brought me back to life in a way that I didn't even realize I needed so badly."

By some kind of miracle, I made it to the 2023 Chicago Marathon! Not to run it, though: I was in town (for the first time!) as one of the finish line announcers on race day. The whole weekend was a dream, from the first post-surgery run to the Abbott Chicago 5K (I ran it!) to the friendships and emotional moments to, of course, race day.
