Weekly Run Down: Chicago Marathon Training – Week 14
Happy Sunday! Welcome to race week! I have to admit that the taper crazies actually got to me this week. The taper normally doesn’t effect me but last week I felt pretty achy. This week my body felt find but mentally I was struggling. I had a little bit of anxiety which really messed up […]
Weekly Run Down: Chicago Marathon Training – Week 12

It wasn’t exactly “relaxing” but I got a lot of things accomplished – errands, shopping, laundry, cleaning, organizing, etc. I checked off a ton of stuff on my to-do list so I’m happy about that. The weather during the week […]
