1:38:16 Chicago Distance Classic

Hey all, I ran the CDC today and got a PR!  (Personal Record to you non-running types, also known as a PB or "Personal Best".  I like to think of it as a PB and J but that's just me.)

Anyway I am beat!  I finished in the top 9% though, so that's pretty cool.  Oddly enough, Susie saw Eric Forehand after his incredible time of 1:14.  He was the 21st finisher, wow!  Susie babysat for Eric and his sister Jenny, so it was a cool reunion.  Ote and Steve from the Cheyenne Running Club also participated in the race and exceeded their time goals.

We spent the weekend in the Windy City, and spent Saturday afternoon with our friend and fellow OAR runner, Christine and her family who live downtown.  It was a day of good food and fellowship followed by a restful evening and an early tuck in.

Susie and Chloe met me at the finish.  It was good to be done.  The weather was perfect for running, and although the 2nd half of the race was into the wind, it was a fast course.

Enough blogging for today, I have another tough week ahead of me so my rear is going to get reacquainted with my couch.  Oh, I almost forgot, my lovely wife got me a massage for Monday afternoon...ahh.
