Chicago Marathon

Last weekend Luke and I were able to meet in Chicago for the weekend to sight see, eat and most importantly cheer on Audrey as she ran the Chicago Marathon.  The weekend was really enjoyable, the weather felt like summer and we had fun exploring downtown.  You can see all of our photos from the weekend here: Photo Link


My favorite part of the weekend was cheering on Audrey as she ran the marathon.  Watching her was inspiring and I am so impressed by her dedication to training for this amazing event.  It was such an amazing setting for the marathon (despite the warm temperatures).  I guess if you're going to run 26.2 miles it might as well be in a cool city!  It was surreal seeing 45,000 runners pass through the city, underneath the 'L', over the river and up Michigan Avenue.

Can you spot her?  At mile 12.



With the marathon finished it was time for some post-race celebration at Kuma's Corner--best burgers I've ever had.  In Luke's words, "I spent the whole drive home thinking about how good those burgers were."  I think he's already planning a return trip back to Kuma's.

Congrats to Audrey and thanks for a great weekend Chicago!
