Chicago Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon

The day of the Chicago Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon finally arrived! I woke up bright and early this morning to be downtown at 6am to join over 20,000 runners for the half marathon!

Here we are before the race waiting in our corral ready to pass through the starting line!

Coming around mile 5!

On my way to the finish line! (I’m to the right of the guy in the blue)

Post race with our metals! I had estimated I would finish in 2 hours and 45 minutes, but made it through the finish line at 2 hours and 36 minutes! (about 5 of those minutes were spent on a bathroom break I had to take at mile 7)

Thanks to everyone who came out to the race to support us! Here we are with the encouraging sign Will’s sister made for us!

I had such a blast at the race today! I cannot wait to sign up for my next half marathon! Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon in Las Vegas maybe?!
