Chicago Marathon

It was HOT HOT HOT.....note to self....NEVER enter a race that is in the 70s-80s.....

I was able to run my target pace for the first 21 miles then the the heat just engulfed my muscles and they started to slowly cook....by mile 25 I had to walk a few steps....but was able to finish in 4 hours and 7 minutes.  Didn't break my personal record of 4 hours but I'm sure there is a heat index calculation somewhere that would prove that I did if it was adjusted!!  :-))

Onto the Vegas Half marathon in December - nice and cold and dry!
