Quieter race calendar midweek, but a few Chicago leftovers still landing, plus a national-day 5K that refused to stay easy. Here's the best of it.

Johannes Droste: Chicago Marathon

Johannes ran the Chicago Marathon in 3:32:29.

Also from Hoofprints #2

Mike ran Chicago in 3:43:35 and locked in a Boston Qualifier with more than 6 minutes of buffer.

Alberto ran a half in 1:46:46, about 28 minutes faster than the same race two years ago.

Stephen ran the Oxford Half in 1:37:10.

Wendy ran a national-day 5 km in 26:38.

Brilliant work, everyone. Keep the hooves turning.
