Jay Antle, executive director, Center for Sustainability, is set to compete in the Chicago Marathon this Sunday, Oct. 13.
Although Antle has run 15 half-marathons during the past two years, this is his first full marathon (26.2 miles).
In an effort to deal with work-related stress, Antle began running distance. To prepare for this marathon, Antle has been running multiple days a week, but spreading the distance out between days. As of now, the most he has ever run at once is 20 miles.
“I don’t tend to dabble – I just dive in,” Antle said.
Antle is leaving for Chicago Friday morning and will be back on campus the following Monday.
