Notes
26.2 mile "training run" on the Chicago Marathon course. Major headache getting into the corrals this year, worse than in previous, so I was unable to run with Kevin, Mitch, or Angela as planned. Did run with CES friend through 18 before continuing solo. It was the first time I didn't fade in the 2nd half (1:44:39/1:42:42) which is good considering my horrid history in the Chicago Marathon and my performance in sunny and warm conditions, although I'll be the first to admit that I was reading to call it quits around mile 22-23. Finished an 83+ mile training week--ready to start my race sharpening phase tomorrow.
