Chicago Half Marathon tomorrow

Looking forward to the Chicago Half Marathon tomorrow. Last year's had just terrible weather -- cold, windy and raining the entire time. Tomorrow is supposed to be very nice, thankfully! I'll be running with my neighbors for a bit, as the husband Bob attempts his first ever 1/2 marathon! Go Bob!

Ah...the long runs

This morning it was an 18 mile training run. The weather was perfect. Cool, but sunny. Lots of people out doing between 18-20 miles today, so that made it more enjoyable. I wasn't tired, but my left foot was pretty sore. Dang hockey injury flaring up again. However, the ice bath afterward helped. I usually evaluate how sore I am by how I feel descending stairs. Good news is stairs are fine today, so training must be paying off! ;-) I think I'll swim a mile tomorrow, and then bike on Monday (labor day) with a friend. Nice relaxing weekend...at least until my kids hockey season starts next week!
