Chicago Marathon Training Part VII: Taper Time & Reflection

Chicago Marathon Training Pt VI & Things I’ve Learned While Training for my Second Marathon

 

Less than six weeks to go in my Part VI review of my Chicago Marathon Training! I am reaching the APEX of my training, hitting 19 on Saturday, scaling back this weekend, and I’ll be back at it for the big 2-0. *GULP*

I looked at a calendar and realized that the 2018 Chicago Marathon is less than 10 weeks away! That means I have 10 (or less!) long runs to go. I have to say, this weather is brutal. I’ve always had trouble in the heat and humidity, so I guess I’ve come a longer way than I realize, but training and heat combined are starting to get old.

Chicago Marathon Training Pt I

 

Hi friends! A while back I announced that I was selected from the lottery to participate in the 2018 Chicago Marathon! It’s something that really called to me for a number of reasons: I seek to develop my running skills, continue this fit and healthy lifestyle, and return to a city that I knew would have welcomed me had I moved. Much like the WDW Marathon in January, I wanted to get on here and provide updates to you, my readers, with the good, the bad, and the sweaty. Here goes!
