Fairhaven Waterfront 15K
Short story: great course, great race, beautiful weather (sunny and 47 to start). Eric got 2nd in his age group with a 1:00:23. The guy who got first went to high school with Eric and they had drivers ed together! I came in at 1:45:27 (chip time). I was hoping for 1:48 so I'm happy. I felt comfortable during the whole race and once again, passed a lot of people on the hills. I don't think most back-of-packers train on hills. Eric and I went out this morning to Lake Padden to run - it has a 2.6 mile path around the lake - mostly gravel. I did three loops for 7.8 miles. I was a little tired after yesterday, but love running there. It's been a busy and long weekend, so I'll add some pictures and call it a post!

Sounds like a great weekend. Nice job at the race and tell Eric congratulations on his 2nd place. Two more weeks to Portland just in case you forgot.
Awesome job to poth you and Eric. And, great job on keeping on top of the hills - there are very few hills in Chicago so that is something I rarely do.
Sounds like a great weekend! Nice photos, too!
Congratulations on beating your time! Whoo hoo!
Nice job on the uphills and on meeting your time goal. I love passing those people because they are usually the ones that passed me on the downhill.
Glad to hear you had a great time and finished sooner than you thought :)
Really like that photo of Riley and his girl :)
Good job on the race, well done both to you and Eric.
Hill running is fun, isn't it?
Congratulations to you both.
Wow! I didn't even know that they had 9.3 mile races. Cool! You guys really rocked that one. Nice pics too!
Wow Michelle, you really are a "hard core" burly woman athlete! :) Glad you too had fun up north! Hope to see you soon! Love the photos!
Congrats on a great race (to both of you)! The photos are great!
Congratulations! You really look strong in that pic!
Lookin good....keep it up!!
I'm just catching up on your week, you've been busy. Great job with the 1:45+, best of all you felt good the whole race! Congratulations!
Man, can you believe how much you're running back-to-back and strong?
Crazy...
Congrats to all, and the girlfriend is cute:)
Hey Michelle, great job! The hills do build stength...all those early morning hill runs with the ladies (and Rob) have paid off for you.
Nice job on the run - way to beat your goal! And congrats to Eric!
Nice job on your race - you came in over 2 minutes UNDER what you were wanting - AWESOME. Congrats to Riley on coming in first at his XC meet (1st in his group.)
Woo hoo!!!!!
Great pics.
Nothing wrong with short posts - I've got to work on that more often. Nice pics.
