Chicago Marathon today; I’m tracking a few people from my running group. The only person from here I know who’s doing it is KCRuns, and I don’t know her real name. Seems weird for Damaris to not be in it! It’s 73 degrees with 63 DP at the start, so it’s her kind of day.
I woke up at 3 AM because of the dog, and have been up since. I’ll get out for about 9 later on.

And now you do.
Are we there, yet?
Chicago Marathon today;
Chepngetich is running an insane pace. She's on sub-2:14 pace, has dropped her pacesetter, and is only a couple seconds behind Chris Derrick (2:12 marathon)
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
LRB - how's your wrist?
Wrist is good. My pinky, ring and middle fingers of my left hand took the brunt of the fall. I didn't need any pills to cope with the pain which is how I judge the severity of these things. I have a full range of motion in all but the middle finger and it's at about 90% so I'm good.

Whatcha say there, bub! I was up early-for-me on a Saturday (6:30). Slept pretty good for post-marathon. Definitely a fair bit of achy discomfort and fidgeting during the night though. I went to the track and ran 3.5 really easy miles before meeting DW and friend for breakfast. Cranberry walnut pancakes with my standard side of eggs for me.
Happy Birthday, George!

It’s definitely been FALL around here lately
Workday
2.35, flat with yucky ham, then one short hill. Feels like residue from yesterday’s 1mi of wiggly roadcrown hill.
That’s okay; 10 little rehab-runs for 30.85 for the week.
Hmm, could be a coinkydink, last week’s annoying different stringy thing right leg problem ended when I started stretching the upper body and got rid of the knot by the shoulder blade.

You must still be sleep.
I've had the Chicago Marathon on for 15 minutes and so far it's been nothing but push rim and commercials. Are there any actual runners there today?
Poor timing, but now that the push rim races are decided, we should see some runners. Could be an exciting race for third for the women as Emma Bates is gradually closing the gap on Sara Hall.
Big breakaway between 30K and 35K in the men's race.
Honestly my brain is not working well today.
No worries, it's allowed here. 👍
It’s still operating in marathon mode.
The people I’m tracking are looking good through the half, but I’m fearing the heat may catch up with them.
Yeah, I'm not in it BECAUSE it is hot and humid. It does feel weird I'm not there after 7 years but I'm not sorry because I probably wouldn't have started with that weather.
I have 6-7 later. Heading to watch the James Bond movie on IMAX at 2pm.
LRB, ouch. Nothing broken, I hope!
