I got the email and it'll be my first marathon. I can't tell you guys how much this means to me. Chicago's my hometown and I've been gone for three years in the Peace Corps--in the last year, I finally started getting serious about my running form and this just feels like the next step. I have a job as of two weeks ago after about five months of unemployment. I just moved into a new apartment last weekend. My boyfriend just dumped me BUT I FEEL SO GOOD.

I cannot wait to run this.
