another easy 3 for me this morning followed by leg strength and upper body stuff. My "pain in the butt" seems to be getting better based on a "sitting at work" test today. Hopefully the running improves soon...

weather in SE MI was crisp and cool and looks like it stays that way this week. should be ideal for (my short) morning runs, other than it's pretty dark now at 5:30am

Paris would be really cool to run. we were in Rome this spring apparantly just before the marathon there and I was thinking it must be pretty cool to run a marathon in an international destination city...

Chicago seems like it could be really fun. Like 26.2 miles of pancake flat "fun". But you'd have to like city marathons--b/c isn't the whole marathon through the city? Are there any urban parts? I only say this b/c I ran RnR Vegas HM one year and I didn't like the constant sight of buildings. But there wasn't much crowd support, either (who in Vegas was up in the morning cheering people on, lol -- this is before they changed it to an evening marathon).

 

I ran 5.2, and walked an additional 2.5.

Chicago is all city running with amazing crowd support the whole way.  It does go through neighborhoods though, so it's not all downtown high rises, there are plenty of condo high rises too  .  I realize I'm biased about the Chicago marathon, but it is a good one and FLAT.

I ran 8 on Sat and 12 on Sun for a modified 20 miler.  My Chicago experience this year is gonna suck, but life happens and sometimes is out of my control, so I'm adapting.  3 miles today.  Still practicing scheduled run/walk intervals because that's the only way I'll get through the marathon and live to tell about it.

After months of the shutdown, we finally got a little thank you $$ for working 35 days without pay and in a mold infested building.

Wish me luck tomorrow, because I plan to do some kind of workout, and hope both of my iffy hamstrings hold up.

I spoke at a college class tonight, MCC. It was pretty cool. 15 or so students who are undecided about their career path. I went on for an hour and 20 minutes strong with nary a single moment of silence. I know they were like, does this dude ever come up for air?? lol

Don't ask about the title........

Don't worry, no one would dare venture anywhere near the gutter where you are concerned. lol

Wish me luck tomorrow, because I plan to do some kind of workout, and hope both of my iffy hamstrings hold up.

Good luck!
