Congrats! You had some perfect weather in Chi-town this year. I ran Columbus and went out too fast as usual. I eeked out a BQ but it wasn't pretty.

I finished in 3:12:58. I am extremely happy with my time and how I felt during and after the race. I had very little recovery time. I was walking around normally that night and the next day, like nothing happened! :-) My husband ran Grand Rapids with me and qualified for Boston with 7 seconds to spare, so we are both registered and excited for next spring!
