And, just like that, the first week of September is in the books. These weeks just keep rolling along, and Chicago gets closer and closer! Here’s how this week of training went down.
Chicago Marathon Training Week 13
Monday — 6-mile run. Took advantage of the Labor Day holiday to sleep in a bit and still got a quite run through town.
Tuesday — Rest day.
Wednesday — 7.5 miles. This run was rough from start to finish, but I got it done. My TFL/quad was cranky throughout the run so after work I headed for a visit with my massage therapist.
Thursday — Finally got some time on my yoga mat…that is, until my furry “coach” took over!
Friday — 6.25 miles. My legs still felt pretty tired, but this run was much better than Wednesday’s. I also got an awesome surprise to learn that I had won @runtheworldinbabydays ProForm treadmill giveaway on Instagram!
This will be mine in about 3 weeks or so
Saturday — Rest Day. Got an acupuncture treatment before heading down to Westerly, RI to hang out with Kim and get ready for the race.
Sunday — Surftown Half Marathon plus warm-up (14.75 miles). I’ll recap the race later this week. Added bonus – I finally got to meet Darlene!
Total miles for the week – 34.5
Total miles on the road to Chicago – 322.8
That’s my rundown for the week! How was your week?
I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.
Wow quite a week! You won a treadmill!? So cool. Congrats to all of you on the half today. I’m looking forward to reading all of your recaps

Thanks Deborah 🙂
You won a treadmill????? Well, you know I’m not a fan of them LOL, but that’s a decent prize! Major FOMO seeing you ladies at your race! YOU are cranking out some great runs en route to Chicago, Michelle 😉 Awesome job!
Pretty ironic since I’m not much of a fan of mills either – but it will be nice to have one for those days that Mother N doesn’t play nice 😉
You won a treadmill! Wow! Have you got somewhere to put it?
A good solid week of running for you, well done. Watch out for Si Mo Farah at Chicago, trying to retain his title – I’m a bit envious you get to run in his footsteps.
Happy running this week!

Good question – I’m trying to figure out where we’re going to put it!
Such an amazing week for you! That is the same treadmill I bought last winter and you will love it! Congrats! And congrats on your race. Looking forward to the re4cap!
