your 2nd 10 km of the tour de fleurs was a whoop de deux!

and all those people you passed were better than passing your … “motions”.

Take the first 10 steady. I’ll try to remember that too.

Wow. You made some history out there. It helped to have Richie pinching you along too.

Good job Susan! The rule of thumb I seem to see work for most of us ‘normal’ folks (not the super fasts), for marathon prediction is double your half marathon time plus 20 minutes, and remembering Chicago is almost totally flat, I’d guess you’ll run about a 4:40 if everything goes your way. Just make sure to take the first 10 steady. I can’t wait to see how you do!

You were good today. I’m thinking with a restful few nights pre Chicago 4:30 or thereabouts is seriously possible. Your pacing was excellent today, and as for that 8:18 last mile… go Susan!

Keep the training going. 10:20 miles will be a cruise in the windy city

Great photo, great time! Especially considering you were off your game.

Chicago will be great.

Way to go, Susan! A PR during a late-training haze of exhaustion is fantastic. You will kick some serious sub-5:00 hour ass in Chicago.

Excellent race Susan! Way to kick in 5th gear the final mile! Hope they had that good beer at the finish like last year.
