Day 242*

Yesterday I was thankful for a solo run. I had signed up for a free "shake out" run hosted by one of the local running stores as part of the Magnificent Mile Chicago Women's Half Marathon but I got a late start. By the time I got near the store, the group had already started out. They were still walking while I had already run 2 miles and was ready to go. I walked at the back of the pack for awhile before deciding that I really needed to finish the run solo. It was a great 6 miles, ending with a "magic mile" at an 8:09 pace.
