Happy Sunday!
It is a beautiful Sunday here and for the first time a while, I woke up to a wide-open day. I’m looking forward to a day of relaxing, watching some football, and perhaps a little yoga (I think my legs will thank me!). But, first I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.
Chicago Marathon Training Week 14
Monday — Took a rest day after the Surftown Half Marathon on Sunday.
Tuesday — 8.2-mile run. While I love that we’re moving closer to the first day of fall, I do miss starting my runs in daylight.
Wednesday — 5 miles in new shoes! I’ve been debating trying a shoe with a bit more cushion and have had my eye on the Brooks Glycerin for a while. They felt really good!
Thursday — 6.2 miles. Another run in the Glycerins. The swampy humidity returned and I was happy to squeeze this run in before the rain came.
Friday — Rest day.
Saturday — 12 more miles in the Glycerins. Pacing and fueling clicked and I was pretty pleased with how this run went!
Total miles for the week – 31.4
Total miles on the road to Chicago – 354.2
All-in-all it was a good week and, as a bonus, I think I may have found my marathon shoe! I think I did a much better job of prioritizing rest and recovery, including trips to both the acupuncturist and massage therapist, so this week the goal is to do more of the same.
I am currently running in the Glycerins as well and really like the cushioning. Another solid week for you! Keep it up it’s fun to watch your progress

As I have said (almost weekly LOL), your training is going so well, and you seem to really be embracing it. SO glad to hear your long run went so well 😉 It’s awesome when everything clicks and you finish feeling almost better than when you headed out. Great job!!
Solid week! I’m a big Brooks fan, glad you’re having good luck with the Glycerin. Keep up the strong work!

I bought my first pair of Brooks (I think Adrenaline) a couple of months ago and I’m yet to test them out! But I’m really excited about them. Will start using them as soon as I’m done with my goal trail event! What a solid week, well done!

Hooray for an awesome week of training!
It looks like prioritizing sleep and recovery have really paid off this week. Hope that this week of training goes just as well!
