Slow running week

Well, this week I only got in 21 miles, which is not too bad considering my Birthday was on Tuesday and I was attending multiple festivities to celebrate. Unfortunately, due to the cold weather that continues to plague Northern IL, all of those miles were run inside at the gym. Hopefully this week the weather will break a bit and I will be able to get out and run outside. The goal this week is to run at least 25miles, with the majority of those miles being outside I of course will be keeping all of you updated!

It’s Official!

Well, it is official, I am running the Chicago Marathon again..this will be the third time! Even though the second time really doesn’t count since they cancelled the race. Anyway, I did it, I signed up. I was so sure I was not going to be running it again this year, but a few of my friends signed up, so I had to jump in. I am looking back now and wondering why I want to put my body through all this pain again….. but once I cross that finish line in October, I will know why

As for training for the Marathon, I haven’t technically started it yet, I am just trying to build a base for this month. That basically means I am running consistent weeks of 25 to 30 miles a week. Once I head on into April, I will try to pick up my weekly miles by 5 and then slowly increase from there.  I hope to be running 35 to 40 miles per week by July/August as long as the injuries hold out.

How many times can a person restart a blog?

Alright, no more excuses this time, I have started and stopped this blog too many times to count. This is really getting ridiculous!! So, this is the last chance I am giving myself to keep this blog alive.

Here goes nothing….
