Chicago marathon 2026

My first ⭐️ & 4th marathon.

Finishing a marathon is always a massive accomplishment but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t upset & disappointed in what happened yesterday.

Months of work for one day & it just wasn’t my day. That’s just the way it is sometimes. I started hot & I knew that would happen because the hype is so good but then slowly was settling into my pace. Unfortunately after my first gel I knew my stomach was off. I’m not sure why because I did the same exact thing I did every week in training.

I’m like ok slow down a lil let it settle, it’s fine you’ve trained for this. By mile 9, my stomach was not happy. I told Avery (we stuck together for 10 miles) that I knew this was gonna get ugly for me.

*I AM NOT SAYING THIS FOR ADVICE I AM SHARING MY EXPERIENCE. YOU MUST LISTEN TO YOUR BODY & MAKE THE CALL. You can disagree with my decision to continue the race but it was MY decision & medicals approval. It’s your race, you make the call that you think is right & I stand by my decision to continue*

By mile 12, I threw up. At that moment I knew I was really in for it. Again beyond pissed because this training block I focused so much on fueling bc I have always had issues with this & I felt like I finally had it. A nice lady handed me some tissues & a water. I started to walk. Now I knew I needed to get more cals in & hydration.

I resume jogging (screw race pace at this point). Down another gel & water, I think ok im good. No I was not good. I continued to get sick until mile 25. I stopped in medical at 15 & sat down with them. I was never dizzy & my body felt strong. Medical cleared me to continue the race but said to continue to hydrate & get cals in & try to hold it in as long as possible.

At this point I’m walking 90% of the last 14 miles. DNF was on my mind for about 4 miles. I went back & forth on it a lot. I felt safe to continue bc I was so aware & felt fine minus my stomach it was in shambles.
