The first marathon in my #5x5for55 marathon challenge for charity is complete! I finished the Chicago Marathon this past Sunday, Oct. 11, in 3:01:21. The weather was warm and sunny for a marathon but I held it together and put in a solid effort. Very happy with the results, despite finishing just outside my sub-3 hour goal. But that also meant I missed out on a free pair of Puma running shoes :( The Culligan water refill stations were amazing! The water came out fast and cold
