While today’s running of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon was not my best finishing time by far, I’m still amazed at what the body can do when the mind says, “keep going.” To be honest, I probably should not have run a marathon on a hot day in Chicago with a head cold and hacking cough. But alas, stubbornness reigned supreme, and Carisa was there to scrape me up off the pavement. A huge shout-out to Chicago Police Department for their efforts to keep the route safe and under control. They are indeed, Chicago’s finest.
