Chicago Marathon Training: Th 6.16.22

Posted on June 16, 2022 by arunningmess

1.75 miles

There are those runs when everything just clicks, things align, and you feel amazing! Your run feels magical and effortless! 

This was not one of those days. 

Nothing clicked. Nothing aligned. There was no magic. 

Shy of 2 miles I decided to can it.

Everything felt off and I couldn’t get a rhythm going. And I realized there was something I needed to do before the day really started and then I was annoyed with something. It was just one of those mornings when I wanted breakfast and extra coffee and rest. 

Later on, I was thinking about heading out again in the afternoon but decided against it. I wasn’t going to force this. That run could’ve been magical but I’m listening to my body.

The magic will be there another day.

Thank you for reading my daily post on my Chicago Marathon training.
