Pretty awesome news - Boston Marathon winner Robert Cheruiyot and London Marathon Tsegaye Kebede have also entered the Chicago Marathon! People are calling it the Marathon of Champions, and this is one the strongest marathon fields ever!
Monday, got in a nice workout with Crystal over at the Big River Run. Ran a pretty slow 3.5 miles to the track, did another mile on the track while Crystal did form drills, then jumped in and did about 1.5 sets of circuit training before jogging it back in. Circuits felt pretty awful, especially the sprinting between stations. Legs were pretty fried, and it didn't feel too good. Total mileage: ~5.5 miles - no idea of splits, but it was slow.
Tuesday, was supposed to do track work but my legs still felt like jello and opted to switch to something more low key. The weather has cooled down a bit, and the evenings are much more tolerable than before. Got out around 8 p.m., just did an out and back through town. Didn't push it at all, could feel myself starting to speed up towards the end but made it a point to stay relaxed and not push it at all. Felt pretty good - still a little worn out, but should be good to go again soon. Total mileage: 5 miles - ran for roughly 42-44 minutes.
Right I.T. Band is flaring up, but this could be because my shoes are about finished so need to order some more. Going to try for my trackwork tonight, so we'll see how it goes. Tim is going to be in town in a few weeks, and we found a fun local 5K to participate in so looking forward to the plethora of races that are approaching!
