Notes
the Chicago marathon with Marty. ran first 5k then dropped out and walked to 20k and jumped back in with Marty. 5k at 23:54, 20k-17mi around 7:30/mi then last 8 slow so estimated excluding stopping and walking. Marty had stomach cramps and we slowed and stopped and walked. It got uncomfortably slow so I ran mile 25 comfortably @ 6:55 and waited for Marty for the last 1.2mi. Other than the pace, it was the best of all worlds because I ran the start and finish, got to see the elites and cheer everyone faster at 20k, and there was no wall or the soreness that goes along with it. Calves and hamstrings and knee still sore afterwards but not my quads. Marty finished just under 3:32.
