This weekend I raced in the Chicago Rock N' Roll Half Marathon (13.1 miles) with friends and co-workers! 18,000 people raced! There was bands playing about every 2 miles to keep us entertained, and a post-race concert as well. The city of Chicago always has a good turnout. We ran down Chicago city streets and then down the lake front with the skyline in the background. It was a perfect weekend for the race. It was 60 degrees at the start of the race, and turned sunny and about 70, at the finish line. I had a great race, I finished in 2 hours, 1 minute--about a 9:16 pace. I was very happy with that time!
