Notes
Holy cow, this race really was stacked with some good individuals this year. Going into the race I wasn't worried about trying to win since I know I'm trying to get back into solid shape so that took off some of the usual pressure I put on myself lol. An Olympian showed up who ran the Rio Marathon and he broke Nelson's course record and made it look easy. As for me, I'm pleased with today. Time-wise I definitely don't like it but last year I ran 15:32 at both the Tinley Park Turkey trot and here. Both courses run similar times and this year I ran 16:08 at Tinley so it's nice to see that I'm making progress. Definitely felt stronger than I did 2-3 weeks ago but made an aggressive surge that I shouldn't have at 2.5 and I struggled for a minute or so before regaining my composure. Ended up 7th but really had alot of fun. I feel much healthier and am enjoying running again for the first time in ages. The best is yet to come, excited to use this as a great kickstart to winter training!
