Return To Racing
Unofficial time was 28:53, so that should be a 3 minute PR. Didn't hang around for awards, but there weren't many in my AG. It was a nice race, especially since we were Comp'd on the registration. Weather was perfect at 50* and no wind. Lots of turns and kids to deal with
Congrats Mitch. I could PR again if I pushed the Angels stroller with you !!!
Update: I was 4/8 in my AG, 2 minutes behind 3rd. Official time was 28:48. DW won her AG by 3 minutes.
Penguin Power!
2:16:05 - a PR by 2 minutes, 53 seconds
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Jerry, Jerry's wife, and Jill.......Congrats on the PRs
This has been a great weekend for all our racers. Congratulations!
Mitch - I'm really glad the ankle has healed so quickly.
Brilliant - I hope your rainy run went well.
sapf - I usually just add 20 to whatever the temperature is - so 53 = 73, t-shirt weather, especially on race day
Jerry - how did you get comp'ed for the registration? Nice.
Off and on showers all day here. I'll do some miles, but I'm not sure when or how many. First we get to walk Ben so I can figure out how cold it is.
Ginny, it's still a little sore, but I'm hoping I can continue to pamper it until Detroit. I have a 15k next weekend, and really just hope to get some semi easy miles in with that.
Ginny: My employer is a sponsor. They had 10 comps and only 3 were used. It's not a very healthy group of employees.

Hi, guys. Ran my 6outside yesterday but the wind was brutal. Hoping for less at Chicago, although this is around where it will be. Anyway, 12 with 6 @ MP + 10% done on the TM today. I'm done.
Allison, congrats on the PR!
Damaris
Congrats, Jerry and sapf!
Great turtle racing this weekend!
And I'm sure Scotty will have run 5 races this weekend to make us all look bad!

Actually, I had NO races this weekend for a change. Did a nice run/walk at Fort Sam Houston on Saturday; and this morning 4.5 miles along the San Antonio Riverwalk. Weather for both was sweeet. This morning, 69 degrees, 35% humidity, dewpoint in the 50s. I started and finished at the VFW building on the Riverwalk and afterwards a couple of friends and I enjoyed a cold beer.

Congrats on the racevacation.
What a difference cool weather can make! Today was overcast, 55 and just a bit breezy. The showers never showed up, aside from a few drops late in the day. It felt cold at first, but I really enjoyed it. I ran 14 miles, into town and then out again, and was seriously tempted to add a few more at the end, but this was the best long run I've had in a while, and I didn't want to ruin it by pushing the miles. Ben kept us up again last night, so it was easy to keep the pace slow, which also helped.
Jerry, congrats on the PR! Nice to be comped the entry as a bonus.
Jill, woohoo! You are getting so ready for next month!
Ginny - fantastic running! I love it when it comes together like that.
Damaris, sorry you were back on the treadmill today. Fingers crossed for great weather in Chicago.
My run went really well this morning. It was nice and cool but only drizzled on me for about a mile. Very refreshing. 6.8 done.
It is cool weather but not PR weather for Chicago. 40s would be PR weather and it's around 57-65F so not close to that. I usually overheat in the 60s like in Montreal (which was cooler), so we'll see.

That's the hope... I guess after my 20 mile long run I'll think about pace/goals/etc. McMillan suggests a 4:46:24 which is just 100% lol and I know that isn't happening. Maybe if I have a miracle day I could aim for 5 hours.
Congrats, Brilliant, Sapf, and Jerry!
I ran 14 with the last 2 at tempo. I was scared of that run, but got it done. It turns out the tempo miles were hard, but a totally different kind of hard than the normal "long run" style.
