5.46 miles Here’s where I start to mesh a couple of different training plans together. The 5.46 miles were for the 5 I was supposed to do tomorrow, and I included the Speed Run from the Chicago Marathon Nike Run Club Training Plan into it, except that I realize now I messed up. Instead of 1:00…
4.20 miles Welcome to Week 3! After that delicious feast I consumed at the Dodgers game yesterday with a yummy veggie dog (with mustard, of course), garlic fries, and churro, I was well fueled for today’s run! It’s a rest day on the plan but I rested enough yesterday and I had no residual soreness…
0 miles Today’s Cross-Training Day consisted of walking from the car to the coffee shop, walking from the car to the market, and walking from the car into Dodger Stadium and to my seat to watch the baseball game.

10.45 miles I don’t know what it was exactly. Maybe it was the rest day yesterday. Maybe it was last night’s pizza for dinner. Maybe it was the wide-brimmed hat.

Nothing aligned. There was no magic. Shy of 2 miles I decided to can it. Everything felt off and I couldn’t get a rhythm…
5.25 miles This morning the tiredness was soaked into my body and my energy was drained due to not sleeping well and also after receiving some sad news last night. Normally I prefer to run in the morning, but I just couldn’t get myself going. I could’ve easily opted not to run today, but it…
3.21 miles (followed by Core work) It took a couple of miles before my mind and body got on the same page and the residual soreness from Saturday that I thought was completely gone yesterday, resurfaced. It was ever so slight but it was enough to notice. Tomorrow is 3 to 5 miles and if…
