3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) 

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Highland Park, IL; 14 mph winds; 1.52 mi trying to warm up with 3x100m strides. Garmin measured the course in 6.45 mi for 47:42 (last year it measured 6.16mi and they added an extra out and back down a street this year). 1 mile cool down. I felt like I paced well and I finished with nothing left in the tank. My legs felt fatigued the entire race and the impact running seemed abnormally painful. Effort did not feel like a 7:41 min/mi pace according to how my tempos have felt. It felt much harder than 7:41 pace, so I was either not recovered, the wind was pretty significant, or the course was too long.

ADDENDUM!: I just rechecked the course map, the course marshalls had us take an extra out and back that was part of the 5k course, NOT the 10k course. So, the 10k ended up being 6.46 mi and my pace was 7:23 min/mi, which makes more sense to how the effort felt. I am happy now!

Great job! Always nice to find out that you were running quite a bit faster! Not too far off PR pace.
