Perdue Half-marathon

So, so proud of Mikaely for all she does and the upstanding person she is! We drove to Lafayette, IN this past weekend to watch Mik run the Perdue half. She set a goal to not stop and run faster than 9:30 per mile pace and did just that. She looked great the whole way and ran it at a 9:15 pace. 

Then we went out for bagels, then the farmers market, then ended up at the “No Kings” March! Crazy busy 24 hours! But so much fun!

Chicago marathon #21 in the books

 Marathon went well this year. 3:16 and 7th in 65-69 age group! Also really fun because Lance and Diana came to watch and I got to see them at mile 24, the most grueling part of the course. Also saw lots of PT students at finish line. Beautiful day to run and overall fun race! 

Chicago marathon 2025

Feels like I’ve been away from the marathon for years but it’s only been two years. Still I’m really excited to run again. Diana came across this bold Chi Marathon bib from 25 years ago. Not sure if I was rolling around in the dirt during the race but it’s filthy! 

But I’m also nervous. I’ve really lost my edge over the last year. Hopefully I’ve got one more of these in this aging body! 

Lance’s friend, Matt Gollins is running and Lance will be coming to watch,, so that will be really fun! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🏃🏼‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏃🏻‍➡️🏃🏽‍♂️
