CHICAGO (USA): Retired Olympic heptathlon bronze medallist Brianne Theisen-Eaton completed the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, her debut at 26 miles, in 3:55:08.

RunBlogRun opines; Brianne Theisen-Eaton had some funny tweets after the race. She has respect for the distance. We have always had respect for the hep star, but now, even more!

Last long run before the marathon and you guys... I'm so excited to not have to do a long run again for a LONG time! 🏃🏼‍♀️🙅🏼⠀ ⠀ This has definitely been a learning experience for me. I knew I was tough mentally, but this has taken a whole different kind of mental toughness. There have been so many days where the sun was beating down on me and my knees and hips were aching so bad I couldn't feel them anymore and said "f*ck this!" and called Ashton for a ride home. But coming back to why I agreed to do it in the first place has kept me going.⠀ ⠀ I have no idea how this marathon is going to go. I have no idea how I'm going to feel race day or how it's going to feel once I pass that 20 mile marker. We will see...
