#ChicagoIsCancelled

Two years ago, Vee and I decided we wanted to run the Chicago Marathon. It’s on Vee’s marathon bucket list, and I’m a fan of the city, so it would make a great first marathon for me. We entered the lottery last October and both got emails in March saying we were in.  We knew we had a lot of work ahead of us to prepare.

Then Life Happened

Vee’s path in yoga took flight through Create Karma

Between October and March, Vee was accepted into the 200 hour yoga teacher program with Create Karma and three other fitness certifications. I changed jobs in December, knowing I would be moving into a management position in 6 months that was going to be challenging. I also started making and selling my organic beard balms.

So needless to say, there was a lot going on, and we should have known that this wasn’t the year to run. We still tried to make it work, but honestly, it just added more stress to everything. The final straw though, was when I hurt my back in early September and couldn’t run. At that point, we pulled the plug, and Chicago was done.
