<p>Today I got out for 8.12 miles on the Salt Lake City Marathon course.  We got to see the leaders and lots of other runners.  I think the leaders could have finished around 2 hrs 20 or so.  My run was good 1:10:56(8:44).  It was nice and relaxed as we were cheering on the marathon runners and not paying much attention to how fast we were running.  Overall all it was a nice run.</p>

<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - nice job on the marathon miles</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My race was a wet and windy affair on the Chicago northside lakefront. 45F. I ran a pretty even pace but struggled into the wind late in the race. Finished in around 66:17 off a 66 min best case goal. Not a great performance but about right</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Splits: 6:32; 6:36; 6:36; 6:38; 6:41; 6:41; 6:39; 6:41; 6:47; 6:23</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Next 10 miler is Memorial Day weekend. A sub 65 is the goal.</p>

<p><strong>RA</strong>, awesome race, only 9 secs difference for the first 8 miles between your fastest and slowest miles with something left at the end... you're like a metronome!</p>

<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - Sounds like a fun time on the course.</p>

<p>I think we were a little warmer out here, maybe 50, and after my run in the 25-30mph winds yesterday today felt downright calm.   After a 3 mile warmup where I wasn't feeling particularly great, I did not take it out too hard and my splits were 8:01, 7:41, 7:55, 7:49, 7:46, 7:34, 1:31 for 48:19 altogether.   I think the course was set up with 1,3,5 fairly uphill and 2,4,6 fairly downhill so it's more even than it looks.  Not a ton of zip in my legs but to be expected with not having done any speedwork the last few months.  Probably around 90% effort and no real expectations, it gives me an idea of where I am and felt good to go a little harder for a change.   With a multistage cooldown before and after the pancake breakfast I got in just shy of 13 altogether.   I got a 25k on May 7th next.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope the storms holds off and everyone has a nice weekend.</p>

<p>Nice running out there today.  I was put for the Dairy Dash 5k and 10k.  Finished the 5k in 23:39, 2nd in my age group.  Slowed down for the 10k and and finished in 51 something.  I was surprised to see I got second age group for that one, too.</p>

<p>Happy Saturday all,<br><br>
Nothing for me yet. It's a soaker around here so probably TM session awaits later. Soccer is on the schedule tomorrow but probably won't happen if the field gets too drenched today.<br><br>
Nice racing by our Chicago crew.<br><br>
sounds like a fun day of marathon watching, Kevin.<br><br>
Looks like you are picking up right where you left with TNT, Apple. Nice job.</p>

<p>Not so fun spin this afternoon.  50*, overcast, with 28mph wind.  Opted for Mill Loop, hoping for 3laps.  Winds were brutal.  Just couldn't get anything going.  As I was finishing lap2 it started raining.  Took that as a sign to call it a day.  34miles.  </p>
