Hello Chicago! My name is Sean McGowan and today was my first Endorphins run - figured I should introduce myself!
I grew up in the suburbs and been living in the city for about 3 years now. I grew up playing soccer and would race for fun, eventually focusing on just running.
In 2023 I tore my ACL, needing a complete knee reconstruction, and after a year of recovery, I’m finally back – today’s long run was longest run since surgery! I’m training toward the Chicago Marathon along with a handful of other races throughout the year while I relearn to run and build strength again.
Im always running on the lakefront (always starting at Belmont Harbor and either going north or south from there). I’m looking forward to more Endorphins runs and meeting everyone!
