| - | she was fine.a0It was about 70 degrees and sunny, but we were mtsoly running in the shade, just like Chicago, a really nice day. I think the news said about 83% humidity.a0For me and I think most people, I would rather run one large loop or a point to point race then multiple loops around a small course. I had to complete this loop yesterday 8 times and it does mess w/ my head and slow me down after a while.a0I have a marathon in 11 days called the Self Transcendence Marathon and it is also 9 loops around a 3 mile course. There are not many choices around here in August.a0I don't have many exciting details about the run, but I will tell you one thing that I've learned from doing these loop races. I instinctively seem to speed up when I am passing other runners, and I slow down when I am getting passed.a0 I'm not sure why, it just makes me feel better to be passing people(Obviously).Marybeth overcame a bunch of adversity to complete her race; she almost bailed out 20 minutes before the start. (Personal women issues) One of those times that make you appreciate how easy us men have it compared to women sometimes. She took on her longest distance yet and conquered it in a time of 1:44.03. She continues to impress me.a0I finished my 20 miles in 2:47.50, it came out to an 8:23 pace which was the same pace I ran the NY half 2 weeks ago. I don't know, I guess I'm stuck at that pace for now even though I've picked up my speed work, it doesn't seem to be paying off yet.a0a0It was a great day at the races, really nice people, and a well put together race by NJRR club.a0 We both felt really good afterwards.a0 I took an ice bath when I got home and have only a little bit of soreness today.a0After running 50 miles and many Marathons, maybe I took this 20 miler for granted, but when I was on mile 18 yesterday I realized that 20 miles is still a really long way. Lol
