London Marathon Recap

It's been one month since London Marathon, and I am finally putting some words together to describe my experience there (procrastinating much?) Ever since completing Chicago in the Fall of 2016, I knew I want to try to run all 6 Major Marathons.   London is my absolute most favorite city in the world, so I had to run it as soon as possible. London is SO competitive to get into. I don't know if I will be ever able to run a 3.15 marathon (that's the championship time cut-off), and lottery chances are very very slim. So I decided to look for a charity to run London marathon with, and I found an organization named The Outward Bound Fund which helps kids from underprivileged backgrounds re-connect with life through nature. They organize trips and hikes and kayaking and other wilderness expeditions which I thought was a very cool way to help kids with. The people I worked with from the Fund have been nothing but lovely, so I am very happy with finding this great organization.
