As an mp3: Chicago Run Reviews Podcast - Episode 02

Last Thursday Erica and I ran one of Chicago's fine week-day/after-work runs: the Bastille Day 5/8K. We both did the 8K distance. It was a hot day, but I feel like I had a pretty good run nonetheless (less than a minute off my 8K record). You can hear our quibbles and comments on the race in the second episode of our podcast, above.

This is the sort of crowding inside the museum we're complaining about.

My official results:

Time: 48:41
Pace: 9:49
Overall place: 770 / 1299
Place in sex: 424 / 539
Place in division (M, 40-44): 49 / 63
