Yesterday was the perfect fall day for a marathon, or two. Both Twin Cities and Chicago experienced ideal conditions for 26.2 miles of racing.
Team Nebraska athletes dialed up some very good performances as a result. In Chicago Natalie Como ran a 15 minute personal best clocking 2:55:30! Suzanne Higgins also pr’d in 3:24:38! Agustin Delgado ran 3:53:39 and enjoyed his tour of the Windy City.
At Twin Cities Cory Logsdon improved his personal best by nearly 7 minutes turning in a nice 2:34:50. Cory’s time makes him Team Nebraska’s top marathoner of the year.
Locally, our masters ace Natalie Jetensky was beaten by one second at yesterday’s Race For The Cure. Abby Knight (18:43) barely edged Natalie (18:44).
The Market to Market 50K is now officially USATF Certified and will serve as the Nebraska Association 50K Road Championships. Thanks to Ben & Jason (& Gary) for adding this to the event.
Up again to run before work. Maybe I’ll get the hang of this after all. Hand in the cookie jar story kept the miles and smiles going easily.
