turns out this one was so much more than a time goal❤️

during my “worst” marathon on paper, I still:
•ran my first race for charity and raised $2500 for @chihopesforkids
•saw more family and friends on course than ever before
•hugged and high fived my loved ones at every opportunity
•experienced a crowd going all out to show up for friends and strangers alike
•learned a lot of lessons and gained strength during a training block that I am now mourning
•let myself cry on course and feel all the emotions
•got care from incredible med team professionals that enabled me to get back out and finish
•supported other runners and found joy in cheering them on
•witnessed people demonstrate the utmost resilience under very tough circumstances
I am just so inspired. at the end of the day, it’s all about the people.

endlessly grateful to everyone who donated, sent rally messages, and cheered for me every step of the way. especially my amazing husband, family, and friends - your support is what made this whole thing worth it. all my love.❤️

People asked me why I ran the 5 k with shoes. I did it as a shake out run to prepare myself for the biggest challenge of my life tomorrow, which is running 26.2 mi/ 42k barefoot through the city of Chicago. Many people don't believe I will run the race barefoot. What you can see doesn't show any doubt and great things involves waiting!!!I want to Thank "Hope's for kids " for giving me the opportunity to fundariser for their charity. This will be my second world major and my 8th marathon. Only God knows what will happen, but I am prepared/ focused!<Barefoot Phill has no chills 😀

This wasn't just a 21 k barefoot.. it was a training for something more challenging. From now on I am taking charge in getting the word, so my second family aka barefoot runners get noticed in this journey. "Make Chicago Run Barefoot Again." <Barefoot Phill!!!

A special thank you to our friends at Chicago HOPES for Kids! For years, their dedicated team has brought learning, encouragement, and stability to children living at Primo Center through afterschool and summer programs on our Englewood campus.

From tutoring and enrichment activities to the caring relationships they build with students, @chihopesforkids helps children experiencing homelessness gain confidence, stay engaged in learning, and see new possibilities for their future.

We are deeply grateful for their partnership and for the lasting difference they make in the lives of the children and families we serve every day.
