Race Recap By Amy Stumpf:

Thanks Chicago!  The 2nd majors checked off.  My hope was a NYC qualifier, but I knew with the roller coaster training cycle I had (car accident and sickness), that probably wasn’t possible. I will gladly accept a BQ though. Thanks to my partner in crime, Curtis who picks up the slack while I am out training, and who deals with my insane pre-race psychosis Jennifer, my coach, who always believes in me, and knew I could get scrappy!
Running a marathon is always fun, but so much better with friends. Loved reconnecting with Christine this weekend, and sharing laughs.
At 45 I am pretty stoked about what my body can do!!!
