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.

July Intentions

Hello July! The middle of summertime. I’ll admit, the beginning of July is a little crazy for me because we have a huge work event right after the fourth, hence my delay. But so far, it’s been a great month! It’s also been crazy hot. Most days so far have been in the 90s! I’m actually getting a tan this year!

Chicago Marathon Pt II

Confession: I didn’t run at all during Fourth of July week. So I guess there’s not much to report. BUT WAIT!

Chicago Marathon Training Pt I

 

Hi friends! A while back I announced that I was selected from the lottery to participate in the 2018 Chicago Marathon! It’s something that really called to me for a number of reasons: I seek to develop my running skills, continue this fit and healthy lifestyle, and return to a city that I knew would have welcomed me had I moved. Much like the WDW Marathon in January, I wanted to get on here and provide updates to you, my readers, with the good, the bad, and the sweaty. Here goes!
