AM:  68F, 87%.  8 @ 7:38 AP.  After a day off and 7+ hrs of sleep I felt well-rested this morning, fairly rare feeling, and the result was a sub-8:30 for mile 1, and my legs DIDN'T want to buckle going up 10-ft hills. What a luxury!

PM:  4 TM miles, including 4 x 1/4 mile on/off @ 10.0/7.0, out of boredom and Rested Legs Syndrome (RLS).

"Buckling legs with 10 foot hills"

That should be Chicago's new slogan.

On that note, is there any video available of your finish? Otherwise I'll need a .gif as Allie suggested.

Not that I've seen yet. I can't seem to get the race webcast to replay. But here's another angle:

Not sure why I decided to go wide right, and kick my legs back REALLY far!

Rested Legs Syndrome. I love it.
