  Chicago motherf-ing marathon

  One of the best things I have ever done, ever ever ever. So much fun and now I am a MARATHONER!

  I went out cautiously because my legs were still bugging me. I told myself I could always speed up later, but mostly I just didn't want to feel like crap at the end. Legs started hurting at mile 12 but I told them to shut it and had a great time. Marathons are a beast, I am super sore, my legs are unhappy but I'm ecstatic!
