Congratulations on your accomplishment. I run my first marathon in October 3rd of 2024, I will be 61. This will be my first since college.

Great hustle. I run Chicago every year and this particular year I took so long to run it that they kicked me off the street and I had to finish it on the sidewalks. lol. I had just recovered from covid a few days earlier and had lost a lot of gains from my training. But a finish is a finish 💪
-
Great work! I love watching all of these race recaps!!! You did amazing!! That 800 meter sign always lets me know the hill is coming but so is the FINISH!!!!
-

Congrats Ivy - this is a huge accomplishment! I ran Chicago way back in 1998 when I was younger and in shape at 3:19:58. Just finishing is an accomplishment I’ll never forget. And you’ll never forget your Chicago Marathon experience either. I guarantee it! 👏

This is fantastic and I am very happy for you!!! Congratulations! Keep up the FANTASTIC work!

This is so inspiring! I'd love to run the Chicago Marathon one day. I watched the Tokyo Marathon on the sidelines last weekend and I got so inspired with that as well that now I'm planning to participate in the next one in 2025. As Filipina who has just started running last year, I find so much hope hearing your marathon story that maybe (just maybe) I can do it too ❤ Glad that I found your channel. Thanks for sharing your experience, Ivy!

Girl! We got to do better framing! We are not the last in the last when we talked about our corrals and our waves. We are the party pace in the party wave!

Very nice

Great accomplishment.Years ago you probably never knew you would run a Marathon. MY first Marathon was years ago in Washington DC in 1983 with a time about 3:30.Then years later got down to a 2:30 by early 90s.From that point on of having strong focused training to getting side tracked w daily work and laying off running as much and getting older Im not as fast as I was in my prime.You have the youthful energy now so cherish and enjoy the the improvements and ride up. A little speed work at a track maybe something like 6×800 meter repeatS will make a huge difference in a 5k and 10k also.Good luck stay safe Stretch a little eveydsy.Drink plenty of water.Salamet
