It's All About the Journey...

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing training program that prepared me well for The LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon. I finished in 3:51:07 in my first ever marathon! I met great people, enjoyed the Yoga for Runners class and felt totally prepared for the marathon. Thanks so much to CES and all the coaches and pace group leaders!

"It caters to everyone, no matter what shape you are in. I liked being with such a diverse group of people. I never felt out of place. I really enjoyed myself!!! Plus, for the first time in a long time, I was truly motivated!"
— Dawn Irvin, Learn to Run Program

Chicago Endurance Sports meant the difference between my being able to run just a block and being able to finish the Paris Marathon — at the age of 57! The coaches trained me for my first 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon. Every new distance was a victory I wouldn't have achieved without the CES Coaches and training program. They're amazing.
— Kathy O'Malley, WGN Talk Show Host

Thank you for helping me change my life! The CES coaches are incredible! What an awesome experience the last three months has been for me. I am still on Cloud 11 and haven't come down to Cloud 9 yet. I am relishing in this incredible happening! I would never have believed this was possible ... Now I am running a half marathon!
— Shari Wolf, First-time Runner

Wanted to let you guys know what a great experience I had this summer training with CES. The triathlon was amazing, I felt so prepared, and did better than I thought could! I'm so sad it's over! I've recommended your training programs to several of my friends and am looking forward to doing more in the future. Thanks for a great training summer!
— Holly Bryant

Thanks to the Chicago Endurance Sports Coaches for the great training this summer! I had a good run yesterday, I've improved my time from the last Half Marathon and had fun doing it. Keep up the good work. I will certainly come back and bring others to CES.
— Gracia Shiffrin, Half Marathon Program

Just wanted to say Thanks! Thanks for providing such a wonderful training program for "everyday" people like me that is managable and enjoyable.
Not only did I learn about running apparel, nutrition, heart rate monitors, etc. but more importantly I learned about me and what I am capable of. I knew that I could do things, but while following the program and on the "journey" it became clear to me that I could do anything. Anything!
— Elyse Barson, CES Half Marathon Team 2007

I just wanted to send you a thank you. I was at Fleet Feet last Tuesday for the Chick Run and saw people who have just started Learn to Run program. That was me a year ago. It has been great and am enjoying running. Thank you for being such a great coach!
— Akemi Suzuki, Learn to Run Program: Half Marathon and Marathon Training Programs

Just wanted to thank CES for a great winter training season… and trip to Cabo. It was really fun and I so appreciated your energy and enthusiasm. Cabo was a treat… and I took 10 minutes off my previous personal record!
