#Flatrunner and assorted gear for Sunday's Chicago 13.1. Will be my 28th half marathon, and for the first time since I started running this distance 13 years ago this month, I am nervous about making it to the finish. My last half was in February 2020, during which I ran a respectable age-graded PR of 1:36:24. Week later was in the hospital with a mysterious virus... 1/

Thursday night’s #BLVDS with the crew, or as she chose to call it on Strava, “Miles with Kurt” (translated as, I’m not slow. Kurt is slow). No matter, I’m ahead in this first photo; I’ll leave it to her to post the other photo where she’s pulling so far ahead I’m out of focus. Lots of #CrewLove that night. #3RUN2 #ChicagoIsForRunners #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

Last Thursday’s #BLVDS run with the crew. So good to be back and to see everyone. Still a long way to go. This energy and accountability will pull us through. New ink made its first appearance—hang around here long enough, two things will happen: you’re going to get a tattoo, and you’re going to run a marathon. Btw the vegan options at at Big Kids afterwards were outstanding. #3RUN2 #ChicagoIsForRunners #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong
