First Race of the Season

Back in April I ran my first race of the racing season.  It was the CARA (Chicago Area Running Association) Lakefront 10-miler.  Although it was in April, there was snow on the ground!  Crazy Chicago.  It was the weekend after the Boston Marathon, so there were news crews there.  There was definitely an united feeling in the air.  It was a good race and I was happy with my time.  I was glad to start the racing season a little early this year to be prepared for marathon training!

Someone took this for me.  I do not get regular visitors to races anymore. : ( 

No, I did not wear make-up.  Please do not judge me.
