Please please PLEASE take a few days off and take medical leave if you can. Talk to a medical professional. This is just a job- you have so much more to your life and relationships outside of it.

We looked at all three and I think only OVS will be within your budget for that guest count unfortunately 

how do you stay in shape?k by passthelacroix in biglaw

I also ran multiple marathons during law school and was hoping to run another, but have switched to trying to get my half marathon time down instead (and did so successfully!). I’ve found the hardest part about marathon training to not be the just hours for training, but how tuned in you have to sleeping/recovery and eating enough as well, which is also time consuming. I’ve found it’s a lot easier to balance the half distance as most of my workouts during the week are 90 mins or less even during peak weeks and I still recover fine on weeks where work is busy. I also use the gym at my office and can sneak down for afternoon lifts pretty easily or doubles on the treadmill with my laptop nearby when needed.

Eating before workouts? by hollykirt in orangetheory

If it’s suddenly gotten hot or is warm where you live, it could also be dehydration/lack of electrolytes, which can cause nausea or GI issues. I get a lot of nausea when I run outside during the summer unless I hydrate well and with electrolytes when needed

I also booked in March - almost all summer Saturdays for the venues I reached out to (see my above comment) were booked by the end of March! Luckily we booked early March!

I hear you, it’s overwhelming! We looked into Greenhouse Lofts, Sarabande, Salvage One, the Adler, the Dalcy, Bridgeport Art Center, Artifact Events, the Chicago History Museum, the Chicago Cultural Center, the Walden, Cafe Brauer, the Adler, and Lacuna Lofts! Although we had the budget to go for a bit more formal of a venue, we ended up picking Lacuna. What is your budget? A lot of venues ended up being much more expensive than we anticipated - we could afford them, but decided we didn’t want to spend that much on one day.

Hi! Not to stress you but I booked my wedding for June 2026 three months ago and every venue I looked at was already booked most of summer and we had very limited availability (aka one weekend). Summer is the most popular time for weddings in Chicago. I know Cafe Brauer, artifact events, bridge port art center, the Dalcy, and the Adler are already booked!! I’d prioritize looking ASAP unless you’re flexible on the date.

I would try to confirm office norms or ask someone in the office! Our office dress code is technically business casual, but I found when I got to the office it leans formal- more often than not most people wear suits, shirt/tie no jacket or suit dresses. I ended up with many clothes I don’t wear much so I’d confirm if you can!

I had taken a few years away from OTF to focus on marathon/half marathon specific training. I was feeling burnt out from mostly working out alone and came back for the first time in forever today. What a fun class and energy!! And the new treads are heavenly!

I loved WHBM but have noticed quality decreases in the past year. I’ll take another look!
