Chicago Marathon 2018

My first marathon at 60-64 was a success.  Ran a 3:08 yesterday is the rain. The temperature was steady in the mid 60s for the whole race with on and off rain that was hardest in the middle section of the race.  But the rain felt good because it kept us cool, I can't recall ever feeling that good at the end of a marathon. I'm not sure if it was these racing flats, my carb loading or just a nice even and reasonable pace, but I actually felt stronger after the half marathon point and was able to push hard right through the last mile.  No wall or bonk!  Plus this was my first ever top 10 age group finish at this race. Yeah!
