2009 (in review)

Some people run a marathon just once.

Then there's others who say, "I'll do another one."

So, in 2009, I did just that -

In April, I traveled to Nashville and ran the Country Music Half Marathon
In August, I ran the Rock and Roll Chicago Half Marathon
In September, I ran the Chicago Half Marathon

In October, I ran the Chicago Marathon for the second time.

The weather was a stark contrast from 2008 - nice and cool.

On October 11th, I finished in 4:44:47, nearly 27 minutes faster than 2008.

All was good until after the marathon - then injury set in. I spent the rest of 2009 and beginning of 2010 going to doctors and eventually therapy for tendinitis in my right knee.
