Chicago Race for the Cure

Despite losing my voice I woke up this morning for the Chicago Race for the Cure 10k.  No one really showed up, but didn't matter, I just wanted to use this as a tempo run and make-up for a piss-poor showing at the Chicago Half two weeks ago. Much better showing this time--I won the race in 35:05, ran near perfectly even mile splits (5:38, 5:39, 5:39, 5:45, 5:35, 5:39, 75), and felt pretty comfortable the whole way. Starting really long runs tomorrow, hopefully 18, and 6 weeks til race day.

Wanted to get back in great shape in my 5 weeks off between work and school.  Not in great shape yet but getting there.  Last five weeks mileage as follows: 40, 14, 52, 37, 52, 61... not bad and dropped 10 pounds in the process.
