    Woohoo, finished the Illinois marathon in 3:37:31. Weather was perfect, faded a little in the last few miles but a PR nonetheless. Sub 3:30 for DCM? :) Time to retire the NB Minimus i think. Splits below.

    10k: 50.43
    1/2 marathon:1:46:53
    20 mile: 2:43:27

    Low miles this month, about 60 in total. I did PR in a local half marathon today. Came in about 1:40:xx. Felt great in the Vibrams. Course was rolling hills.

    Have not raced since May but that was intentional, need to gave the missus a break and go on non running weekends off. :) I checked my running log and am delighted with my progress. Started running in 2009 with one 5k. 2010 logged 348 miles, 2011 logged 1878, 2012 logged 1954 and as of this morning have 1009. I have a half in August, 32 mile trail run in September, 50k trail run 2 weeks before DCM.

    Finished a 32 mile trail run in northern Illinois on Sunday. Finished in 6:08 (6:25 last year when the course was 31 miles), didn't eat much at all at halfway point (a few mini size snickers!) and think that was my downfall. Weather was lovely at around 15C and rained a bit at the end to soften up the hard trail. It was a mix of hills, plenty of flat runnable sections and open meadow trail. Next up, 30 miler on October 12th and then DCM. Would like to get a bit of speed work in. Feeling pretty good.

    Another 30 mile trail run yesterday. Bashed my big toe but think I'll be ok. Legs feel pretty good this morning aside from the toe, will ice it a few times today to be sure and get a few more road runs in before heading home shortly!

    Not much going on since DCM. I got a Garmin Forerunner 205 to help track the miles for $50 on eBay. Mornings getting frosty, roads covered in leaves, love it. Looking towards 2014 and thinking what races to do. Have my first 100 mile in April and a 5k with half mara end of April. Not sure after that, will be back for DCM 2014
