Well the final week of Chicago 2007 marathon training is here and thankfully its taper time! What a long and enduring process its been with ups and downs, but I am thankful up to this point that I am healthy and injury free up to this point:)
My goal for the Chicago 2007 marathon is to purely finish of course:) Ideally, I would like to finish with a personal best of better than 4 hrs 27 minutes, but I dont see that happening based on the training times I have seen in the past 2 months.
Realistically, I see a 4 hr 45min to 5 hr marathon finish time unless I find a compelling reason to run reverse splits for the last 10 miles...(yea...that wont happen!...) It will be an amazing experience running with 44,999 other people:)
Mileage Targets for Week 16:
10/1: Ran 2.0 miles around SW OKC neighborhood
10/2: Rest
10/3: Ran 8 miles around Lake Hefner
10/4: REST
10/5: REST
10/6: REST
10/7: MARATHON TIME! 8am CT Downtown Grant Park...Chicago, IL!!!
Target Mileage: 10 miles
Actual Mileage: 10 miles
