14.25 miles It’s been several hours since I finished my long miles, and my feet still feel achy, which I know will subside by the morning. The trails were on the quiet side when I got out there just before 8 AM but I shouldn’t be surprised since they tend to be quieter on Sundays….
2.00 miles These miles were all I could squeeze in today. Saturday has been exhausting and not from the short walk, but some of that exhaustion was from trying to find my lip balm for tomorrow’s long run. I found it. Thank you for reading my daily post on my Chicago Marathon training.

2.20 miles Week 7 is in the books after today’s recovery walking miles. I can feel some slight soreness in my hips so I’ll be paying more attention to them this week. I think I’m still trying to process what happened to my mindset during yesterday’s long run. Physically I felt fine, but it was…
