I wanted to keep the pace easy, which is sometimes a problem running with CB, because he likes to push the pace. But because of the heat, we were both on the same page about how fast we wanted to go.
Happy Happy CB post run.

This week I am looking forward to week 2 of the training for the Chicago Marathon. I am also looking forward to running the 13.1 marathon, Chicago on Saturday. It will be my last half marathon until August when I start doing some tune up- see where I am- halfs before the Chicago Marathon.

You are a racing machine girl! I wish I had the bank account you have to be able to afford these races.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the weather will be lovely, and you will have a great time at the 13.1. You're off to a wonderul start with your training as well.
Great job on your training! I wish you the best of luck this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we passed each other on Monday! It was a hot one!
ReplyDeleteI am currently signed up for the Race to the Zoo 5K, Race to the Taste 5K, Bastille Day run (the 8K), and the Rock and Roll Half in August.
Sounds like your marathon training is off to a great start!
