2018 Chicago Marathon Reflections

The 2018 Chicago marathon weekend was everything I wanted it to be and more.

Chicago Marathon Training Part VII: Taper Time & Reflection

Chicago Marathon Training Pt VI & Things I’ve Learned While Training for my Second Marathon

 

Less than six weeks to go in my Part VI review of my Chicago Marathon Training! I am reaching the APEX of my training, hitting 19 on Saturday, scaling back this weekend, and I’ll be back at it for the big 2-0. *GULP*

Chicago Marathon Training Part V

 

I looked at a calendar and realized that the 2018 Chicago Marathon is less than 10 weeks away! That means I have 10 (or less!) long runs to go. I have to say, this weather is brutal. I’ve always had trouble in the heat and humidity, so I guess I’ve come a longer way than I realize, but training and heat combined are starting to get old.

Confession: I did not complete my full training week this past week. I thought more about this hot dog than I did about running, to be completely honest.
