Fri., 5/15: 2/22 or so. A little sore. PT exercises

Sun., 5/17: Magellan Development Chicago Spring Half Marathon. The inaugural year, unseasonably cool (high 40s-low 50s) and sunny. 2-loop course from Lakeshore East down by McCormick Place. Went in with sort of low expectations, after having felt flat for a while, but finished with a PR of 2:11:11. Thought along the way about the effects of long runs at faster pace--maybe making me feel more flat all the time, but did it net the faster time? Concluded that I need more variety in training paces.

Weekly total: 18

Garmin arrived Saturday, but didn't get charged, etc. in time for race.
