Still cool...but still enjoying it! I'll take windy and cool, over a hot and humid day, anytime.

Kind of nippy today, with a breeze. But nice to get back to the lake, even if I just skirted its south shore this morning. Lovely sunshine.

Sunday's Chicago Marathon was really inspiring - I need to post some photos of it here. I took some good ones.

I really missed running during the past four days, so it felt great to be back on the pavement!

Getting back on the road after Sunday's race; Monday was spent on the stationary bike indoors.

This was the best race ever. Easiest pre-race transportation and logistics; smoothest start; best conditions; beautiful course; decent pace. Can't wait to do it again.

Today felt incredible. But still a surprise to break an 8:00 pace!

Here's hoping Sunday is fast, too.
