I haven't typed anything here in quite a while now. I think not a lot has been going on. A friend an i were talking to a co-worker who said she never blogged because nothing ever happened to her that was worth blogging about. Well, I guess a couple things have happened. I ran in Xenia, OH in the end of March. I had a great time and managed to run a personal best for the distance of 26.2 miles. Did it in 3:13:14 (7:20 min/mile) which is really good for me, and managed 3rd in my age group. I managed to get my lady-friend excited about that particular race, as a movie called "Gummo" was filmed there (she was familiar with it).
Anywho, i had a great time, even though i didn't get to see too much of Xenia. I got back to Chicago, and rested for a few days. My friend Katie was running a race the following Saturday, which I was thinking about running if i didn't go to Xenia (as i got sick the week before the race). Well, for kicks, i ended up running that race with her. And only on five day's rest! I was super sore after Xenia, so i took the race with Katie slow and easy. I finished in 4:44:47 (it was a 31.1 mile race, so i was ok with that, though my previous best was 4:29).
BTW, she whooped me, and finished 1st in her AG. Yeah Katie!
So i guess that has been going on, even though i didn't feel like writing about it until three weeks later.

I didn't whoop you at all- I just didn't run a marathon shortly before the Ultra! Amazing job!
