Andre and RAW’s journey & upcoming 2024 Chicago Marathon

Today marks a significant milestone in my journey as I prepare for my flight to Chicago for the marathon on October 13. This anticipation fills me with a renewed appreciation for the present moment. Each step I take today is a reminder of the hard work, dedication, and joy that have led me to this point.

Yesterday was a perfect blend of routine and self-care. I engaged in my usual reading and running, which always grounds me, followed by a visit to TCM for foot therapy. The team there has been phenomenal, providing the support I need to care for my ankle. Their expertise allows me to fully embrace the Chicago marathon experience, not just as a personal challenge but as a journey to share with friends who have been my steadfast companions throughout.

For lunch, I had the honor of dining at RAW, a Michelin-star restaurant that is closing its doors after a decade of culinary excellence. This transition into a fine dining institute signifies not only an ending but also a new beginning. I am genuinely excited for Andre, who has poured his heart and soul into his culinary journey over the last 20 years. His commitment and vision have always inspired me, and I wish him and his team all the best in this next chapter.

Sharing this fine dining experience with good friends made it even more special. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, nostalgia, and a palpable sense of gratitude for the moments we've shared. Each dish was a celebration of creativity and passion, reflecting the journey Andre has taken to reach this point.

Life is indeed filled with countless blessings, and today I am reminded to take a moment to acknowledge the specific gifts I have—my health, the love of friends, and the opportunities that lie ahead. Each day brings its joys, and today is certainly no exception.

As Mark Twain might suggest, reflecting on these moments enriches my understanding of life. It reminds me to savor every experience and cherish the company of those I hold dear. With the marathon on the horizon, I feel invigorated, ready to embrace the challenges and triumphs that await. Here’s to the journey ahead, both in running and in life!
