Chicago Marathon Training: Tu 8.16.22

Posted on August 16, 2022 by arunningmess

4.25 miles My days are off. Yesterday felt like Tuesday and so when I woke up today, I kept thinking it was Wednesday. I was relieved to know it wasn’t because I didn’t feel prepared to run 8 miles today. Guess I have another day to prepare. Thank you for reading my daily post on…

Chicago Marathon Training: M 8.15.22

Posted on August 15, 2022 by arunningmess

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

Posted on August 14, 2022 by arunningmess

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

Posted on August 13, 2022 by arunningmess

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.

Chicago Marathon Training: F 8.12.22

Posted on August 12, 2022 by arunningmess

8.29 miles (AM) and 6.78 miles (PM) Total – 15.07 miles Yesterday I mentioned I may need to get creative with my long run. Seeing that my weekend was going to prevent me from having a long run, I needed to get these 15 miles in somehow and some way today.  While it’s not ideal, I…

Chicago Marathon Training: Th 8.11.22

Posted on August 11, 2022 by arunningmess

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…

Chicago Marathon Training: W 8.10.22

Posted on August 10, 2022 by arunningmess

7.45 miles Last night I got too warm and when I do, I tend to wake up with a headache so I wasn’t surprised I had one this morning.  I could’ve easily talked myself out of doing any miles but the headache wasn’t too bad. Even if I just walked, I needed to move at…

Chicago Marathon Training: Tu 8.09.22

Posted on August 9, 2022 by arunningmess

4.20 miles I think it took 3 miles for my body to realize “oh she’s running today.” The funny thing is I only needed 3 miles but some good tunes kicked in around that mark and I had a bit of time so I squeezed in another mile.  Thank you for reading my daily post…
