7 miles of suck. Supposed to pick it up the last 10-20 minutes. I did the opposite. Tropical like weather here, I was soaked within the first mile and unfortunately there was very sporadic light rain, so it did not help the conditions. Hamstrings were complaining the whole time.

Go Chicago Runners!

Line outside the place we picked for breakfast. Must be the right spot.

 

 

Yeah I'd FTS and go somewhere else.

 

And Rupp will get all the press despite Hasay running the second fastest marathon ever by an American woman and breaking the US course record at Chicago.

I have a new friend runner, a girl, and she made me realize that. She often places 1st female in local races but all we see on social media is who placed 1st overall even if relatively speaking the girl did better (like breaking the course record)

There's a couple of places here like that. When in line at one of them, the people who leave and go to where no one is eating get a raised brow.

Everything hurts but for the first time in two years, I broke 5 hours again. Woot. And Deena Kastor handed me my medal (will post it tomorrow since I can’t post pics from my phone).

Awesome job D! That photo of you and Deena is awesome

Used a weird elliptical today and didn't like how it worked. 37 minutes or so for only 3.01 miles despite having many many more steps than my shorter elliptical workouts of that distance.

 

Yeah I'd FTS and go somewhere else.

Oh it was totally worth it. Maybe 45 min or so wait (a lot of that line formed after us - DW is in the. Lie sweater looking at the camera).

DW: fried chicken French toast with bourbon-maple-sriracha sauce.

Me: French toast stuffed with bananas & Nutella.

Both of us: Bloody Caesars. Which I always thought sounded iffy, but was amazing.
