Wahoo!!! They say that at some point as you age you will stop achieving overall PRs and will have to redefine what a PR is for you (such as a PR after age 40, etc). Well, that point hasn't arrived for me yet, because today I set a new PR for the marathon distance for me. My previous PR was 4:44:22 and that was achieved several years ago. I wasn't sure I'd ever beat that. This year I decided to try. I picked a high mileage plan to follow, my swimming and biking were non-existent and my run was my focus. It paid off. Not only did I set the PR, I ran every freaking step. Not one walk break the whole time. I even ran through the aid stations, perfecting the "grab the cup, squeeze together, drink". The temps could have been about 10 degrees cooler as it did get pretty hot toward the end, but overall a great race. Will do a full race report later. Splits are below.

Another short run on the lake path to keep the legs moving for tomorrow. Felt weird to only run 2 miles. :)

Went over to the Lake Shore Path for a short little run. Temps in the low 60s. Beautiful morning in Chicago for a run. The path is a wonderful place to run.
