That is how long it took me to run 3 miles today. How did I feel at the end? Fabulous! It felt so GOOD to run. The two week break sure helped a lot too. I felt energized and wanted to run more but the therapist told me to run for about 30 minutes. I plan to go tomorrow and Thursday.
So I decided not to do a marathon in May. Why? Well, I guess the real question is “Why do I feel like I have to do one?” I guess I was trying to convince myself that since I have been doing one a year for the past 4 years then it was time to start doing two a year. Why push it? One a year is enough for me. However, I LOVE, LOVE half marathons and plan to run as many as I can this year. Below are the half marathons this year.Chi Town Half Marathon, March 27
- First Midwest Bank Southwest Half Marathon, May 1
- Magellan Development Chicago Spring Half Marathon, May 15
- 13.1 Marathon Chicago, June 4
- North Shore Half Marathon, June 12
- Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon, August 14
