Chicago Marathon Training: Th 8.11.22
0 miles The headache came back today and this time I couldn’t shake it all day so I decided not to push it. Hoping tomorrow is better because my weekend is packed and I may need to get creative with my long run. Not ideal but it is what it is so I just need…

10.03 miles When I woke up, I wasn’t feeling the best. Yesterday afternoon I had a headache. After a couple of Tylenol, it went away but returned later last night. Waking up this morning I could feel the headache trying to surface again but it held off. After eating a couple of pieces of toast…
