BQ or Bust Week 3 – Big Doubt, Big Dreams | Chicago Marathon Training Recap

Welcome to Week 3 of my BQ or Bust journey as I train for the 2024 Chicago Marathon with one big goal: qualifying for the Boston Marathon. If you're training for a marathon, chasing a personal best, or just trying to stay consistent through the chaos of summer, you're in the right place.

This week was a BIG one: 🏃‍♀️ 5 runs 🚴‍♀️ 1 long bike ride 💪 2 strength training days 🧘‍♀️ 1 yoga session

I’m finally feeling more like myself after dealing with piriformis syndrome the last few weeks. The heat and humidity were brutal, but I’m feeling strong—and more importantly, I’m remembering my why.

Yes, I have big dreams. Yes, I’ve been feeling some doubt and fear (normal runner things). But right now, I’m focusing on progress over perfection and keeping the process fun. My new mantra? WHY NOT. Why not try? Why not see what I’m capable of?

Throughout this series, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m building fitness, managing setbacks, and working on the mental game—because marathon training isn’t just physical, it’s personal.

🖤 The only way you fail is if you fail to try. WHY NOT?!
