Hi everyone!
First I have to say that I am extremely happy that Endorphins is officially in Chicago! 🤩
I’ll admit that I kept checking social media NON-STOP for the announcement!
My name is Irena. I am originally from Skopje, Macedonia but have lived in the US for the past 12 yrs. I’ve lived all over — Naples/Tampa/NYC/BOS. I moved from BOS to CHI in September 2021 to pursue a PhD at Northwestern Feinberg.
My running era began when I moved to BOS in 2019. It started as a way to get some exercise and explore the city. My brother
I have completed 2 marathons (Philly ‘22 & Mesa ‘23) and 2 halfs (CHI Spring ‘22 & Naples ‘23). I qualified for BOS at Mesa so hopefully I’ll be able to get into BOS 2024 unless they decide to have crazy cut off times.🤞🏼 My goal is to eventually run all majors.

This year I only have one marathon on the calendar — CIM in December. Potentially one half before then — looking for one, so if anyone knows any good ones lmk! :)
My brother and I live in Streeterville. We mostly run on the LFT. Or whenever I get bored I tend to run around the city too. Please don’t be shy to reach out if you want to run some recovery miles (any pace)!
Same as my brother, I also played tennis! So we would love to hit some 🎾 if anyone is into it as well!
(Need to get more active on this platform 😅)
