Chicago 2010, week #27/12-7/18
Today was the end of my second week of training for my fall marathon attempt. Again, it was just building back into the mileage and incorporating the little things back into the daily routine- mainly core work and stretching.
The week was highlighted by a three day trip to the Finger Lakes region of New York to celebrate the marriage of Chad and Melissa. It was a good time as we were able to get a lot of the old guys and girls together. As much as people come and go in the program, many of them do end up being an extension of your family. Morgan and I were able to talk to Nick a little bit about the McMillan guys running Chicago and what their plans were. It sounds like a really nice group of guys attempting 2:11-2:12 races this fall. It should be exciting. As much as it is intimidating, it’s actually really nice to have those guys there. It makes the work a little more bearable and it means someone is going to come out with a really good race.
So, all in all, seven days of running for 75 miles. Fell off a little from the extra work, mainly due to time constraints of wedding and travel. Next week means no travel, and the beginning of hermit mode training. Looking for about 100 miles next week, then start workouts.
