Chicago Training [Week 3] & I’m 25!

Chicago; week 3 training is in the books… almost! I need to complete my long run after work today (boo!). I’m happy with my decision to reschedule my long run to after work because yesterday consisted of birthday activities. Waking up early to run was out of the question… unless I followed through with the half marathon race…

Marathon Training, Commence!

Welp, my first training run for Chicago was supposed to be Tuesday but unfortunately, it didn’t happen. I woke up at 5, looked out my window at the gloomy sky and my morning brain told me to just get back in my warm, cozy bed. So I did. I didn’t fight it and went back…

Monday Things

Spring Race Season

As spring race reason came to a close, I was looking forward 3 weeks of not being on a race training schedule. It’s already 16 weeks out from Chicago so I’m continuing to run in order to maintain the base that I worked so hard to build. Also, I’m running a half on my birthday next month (hello 25) so…
