9/11: Ran 9.5 miles in 1 hr 35 min around Lake Hefner

9/13: Ran 8.0 miles around Lake Hefner (did some light walking due to fatigue)

9/16: Rest Day or light 2-3 miles...

Target Weekly Mileage: 40-45 miles
Actual Weekly Mileage:

Well, I finally got a long decent paced run in for about 17 miles at a 10:00 - 10:20 per mile pace:) Mentally this is just what I needed to ensure I can and will finish the Chicago Marathon (barring any injuries etc). Weather was beautiful at Lake Hefner today (Sept. 15th) with perfect long running temperatures.

Hi Carl,

Several of us who are blogging and running the Chicago Marathon are trying to get together to meet on marathon weekend, maybe for a drink or meal. No details yet. Let me know if you have an interest, and please feel free to tell anyone else blogging and heading to Chicago.
