Chicago Marathon Race Recap

Tuesday Oct 11, 2022
Episode 163 – Chicago Marathon Race Recap
Dave takes a backseat in this episode as Pete recaps his Chicago Marathon in the finale of FMC Runs Chicago.
It wasn’t a smooth road as Pete had to overcome some last-minute adversity. In Pete’s words, you don’t usually get the race you want but you get the race you need. Pete needed a test of his toughness. He got it. He crossed the finish line and the story to get there is full of memories he will never forget!
There was a winner in this episode for a free signed copy of Ryan Holiday’s Discipline is Destiny. Pete is giving away two more copies and all you need to do to enter the drawing is to send him a note and include something you are working on or a goal. Congrats to the first winner, Mary Beth!
