On November 1st, I along with a few friends from my triathlon group made the trek down to Montrose Harbor in Chicago for a 9 mile/15k run, Hot Chocolate Run. The finish line was full of all hot chocolate and just chocolate that you could possibly want. The race had a turn out of 11,000 people. Big event!! It was a great day for a run, started a little cool at 6:30 in the morning when we arrived, but ended up being sunny and great weather. The run was all along Lake Michigan.
I was so excited with my time, 1:22:08--about an 8:48 minute pace.
