Today was the 29th
Chicago Marathon
in what the
papers
describe as
challenging conditions: mist, some winds, and generally colder than usual.
While that didn't seem to affect the elite runners and the winner (2:07:35, but a fall at the end),
a lot of folks in my running group reported results that
were only `fine', or worse. I run fairly steady for 20 miles, then slowed a bit but did fine with
a course PR of 3:18:49. That is around 7:36 min/mile and about a minute
slower than the earlier
Sunburst Marathon, but
faster than
last year or the
previous year.
Oh, and this also marks the end of
four
consecutive
weeks with
races.
