I am one of the fortunate ones to get into the 2014 Chicago Marathon – my first marathon! After not getting into the Marine Corp Marathon through lottery, it is great that I got into Chicago.
Chicago is a very flat course and one of the best courses for first timers. With my knee still recovering, it is good that I will not have to worry much about hills. Looking forward to the training.
As I continue to build up my mileage base, my posts here will focus on the training for Chicago all the way through to the completion of the marathon. Outside of a couple smaller upcoming races, such as a 5K and a 10K race, this will probably be the only big race race I do in 2014.
