Chicago marathon training

Good run yesterday: 24 miles on IL prairie path. Rather boring scenery, but running with GE runners made it much more enjoyable!  I ran the first 12 with the group, but then no one else was going long this week, so did the 2nd 12 miles solo with music. Felt pretty good afterward, so that's encouraging.  

Hartigan Beach swim

Awesome swim this morning with Rich and Arron starting right at 6 AM. Swam about 1.5 miles out and back from Hartigan Beach. Water temp in upper 60s, but air temp only in the 50s. Huge swells! Really fun trying to follow Rich's orange wet suite through the waves! Best part was body surfing in at the end!
