4.44 miles The Chicago Marathon is in one month from today!!! And today the weather was a hot steamy pile of humidity and rain. Chances are it’ll be gone by morning, but then again, there is a chance the weather might remain the same. You just never know. Either way, the weather appears to be…
4.07 miles What a day. I woke up later than yesterday and really wasn’t able to run this morning which left this afternoon when the thick of the heat is nestled comfortably. I keep reminding myself the heat only prepares me for race day even though I am trying to manifest a cool 60 degrees…
0 miles This might be a first for this training block – zero miles on a Wednesday when I have 9 on the menu. It wasn’t my day. I woke up late because I didn’t sleep well and then the work day was so busy that at the end of it I didn’t have the…
4.01 miles I know the plan said 5 but I cut this one short. In fact, I’m going off script and cutting all of this week’s miles short. It’s to protect my sanity really because this heat wave is getting to me. Next week, the temperatures should be back into the 80s. Besides, this week…

0 miles – Rest Day Ahhh rest days. How I love them, especially after yesterday’s effort. I’ve enjoyed today’s and may or may not indulge in another one tomorrow. I will let my body dictate that one for me, but for now, the chapter closes on Week 13 of training! Thank you for reading my…
18.00 miles I did it! I made it through 18 miles in the scorching heat! It was muggy hot but I got these miles done and I’m so happy! When I got out at 6:30 AM, the temperature was already 81F. It wouldn’t have made much difference if I started any earlier since it was…
1.51 miles Friday got here fast! And it was a quick short run for an errand. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have put on my running shoes at all. Everything is ready for tomorrow’s long run. Last night I thought there might be a chance to push it to Sunday so I could sleep in, pick up…
