What a special day
here in Chicago with the gift of Anna, Jason, and my mom here to cheer along
the way (along with the incredible crowds here in the Windy City). While I had some pretty intense leg cramps to
run through for a long stretch, my body gave me the gift of running with a
smile through the miles and of finishing feeling strong. I was grateful for quite a few fun quick stops
along the way for photo ops to soak up the joy of it all (see below for some of
them), and it was such a gift to run in honor of some wonder women in my life.
favorite group text with my running friends this morning from my friend Paula....
to which Elizabeth responded,
"At least Emily is not wearing high heeled boots, so that should be an advantage."

After passing Jason who was taking photos, I ran back to get these photos with him in a few!
(So worth it!)
