I've called Chicago home my whole life-growing up playing AYSO soccer and attending CPS-and running through its streets feels like second nature. I started running in the winter of 2023 and completed my first half marathon last fall. Now, I'm taking on the Chicago Marathon because, why not? It's a chance to celebrate the city I love and see if all those training miles truly pay off!
