This week marked the peak of my training for Chicago. I not only ran my largest weekly mileage, but the longest run I'm planning before race day. And I'm happy to be able to report that all went well.
I actually enjoyed my speed training on Wednesday evening (once I got going anyway), my pace run on Friday felt relatively easy, and today's long slow run felt pretty darned good (at least until about the 24 km mark). Of course, it helped that the weather was pretty much perfect for running this week -- with lots of sunshine and much cooler temperatures.
That said, it still felt wonderful to get 36km behind me today. My husband, Luke, took this photo when I arrived back at the house just before noon -- tired and achey, but oh so happy to have gotten to this point in my training injury-free.
Fingers and toes crossed that all continues to go well.
