4.01 miles Something tells me my body feels as though that 20 miler was the actual marathon and I have to keep reminding it “No, no. That wasn’t it. Training isn’t over quite yet. I mean, yes the majority of training is done, but there is still some maintaining and recovery in the meantime.” My…
0.52 miles I would’ve loved to have completed more than I had today but I was living in migraine city and the running was making it feel worse so I stopped. It’s been a while since I’ve had a headache like this and I’m not entirely sure what triggered it. I just hope I don’t…
3.54 miles After last Saturday’s 20 miles I’ve had some lingering last-minute questions I need to answer but today I think I’ve eliminated one shoe option for the race. Now I just have a few minor details to figure out such as what to eat, what to wear, which socks I should go with…you know,…

1.42 miles A little walking and stretching to try and shake out the soreness and fatigue from yesterday’s 20 miler that I’m still processing. All I know is there are some decisions I need to make between now and race day so that’s what I’ll be doing the next few weeks because Week 15 is completed….
20.10 miles When I first posted on June 2nd that I would be sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly of training, today’s 20 miles – the last big long run before Chicago – would have all three of them. The Good I finished all 20 miles! That’s obviously the best part, and without…
2.07 miles The 20 mile long run is here!! I am excited and nervous, but I think mostly nervous which means I’m already simulating race day conditions. As most of my long runs have gone, I have no idea how this one will go. The wheels could fall off early where I’m on the struggle…
