16.18 miles Last night I made the decision not to set my alarm because I tend to wake up early anyways. Turns out my body needed extra minutes of rest because I didn’t sleep well. I didn’t wake up until just before 6 AM which was later than I wanted but no use in arguing. …

Chicago Marathon Training: F 8.19.22
4.02 miles I have some good news and not-so-good news. The good news is I got my music all squared away for tomorrow’s long run!! And the not-so-good news is that I tweaked my back a bit last night. Not the entire thing. Just the lower left side and I’m not sure exactly how which…
Chicago Marathon Training: Th 8.18.22
6.33 miles I was expecting my legs to feel more tired after yesterday’s long midweek run but surprisingly they weren’t. Could this be I’m gaining more fitness and my body is adapting again? I think it could be! Hopefully! Fingers crossed! And now I need to prep my mind for Saturday’s much longer run because…
Chicago Marathon Training: W 8.17.22
8.30 miles I’m quite happy I got these miles in one swoop but I’m not entirely giddy about these long midweek runs at this point in training. Time wise they’re not the easiest for me. The alternative is to break them up into a double run but even those are harder. However, I do kind…
Chicago Marathon Training: Tu 8.16.22

Chicago Marathon Training: M 8.15.22
5.34 miles Week 11 is here and it felt good to get some solid movement in today after not being able to run the last couple of days. But I took last week as a cutback week since I failed at reaching them the last couple of times. It gave me a glimpse of what…
Chicago Marathon Training: Sun 8.14.22
0 miles Not sure when the last time I had a complete non-running weekend but it’s been a long while. This time around I felt as though I was missing something but I’ll take this week as a cutback week. And now on to Week 11! Thank you for reading my daily post on my…
Chicago Marathon Training: Sat 8.13.22
0 miles While my body feels good after yesterday’s 15 miles, I knew this day wasn’t going to be conducive to a long run, or any run for that matter. But that’s okay. Sometimes we need to adjust our sails. Thank you for reading my daily post on my Chicago Marathon training.
