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.
Chicago Marathon Training: F 8.12.22
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: W 8.10.22
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
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…
Chicago Marathon Training: M 8.08.22
0 miles – Rest Day I have made it to Week 10 and the halfway mark of training! With the miles ramping up, I am paying extra attention to rest days. Now that I’ve stopped focusing on the GVRAT I don’t feel the need to sneak in extra miles. But time is flying by too fast…
