Met up with Bret, Riley, and Kenae (Janae). Ken asked if we could pace Janae in a run around 6:30-35 pace. Ended up working out well for Janae. She ran really strong and should be on pace for a PR in Chicago.

I struggled the first few miles with my stomach and had 3 bathroom breaks. Once that was settled I felt pretty decent today, little heavy but nothing to complain about.

Thanks Spenc! Just trying to get to the start line. Hoping it will be a PR marathon for me. Crossing my fingers...
