Re: Mission Chicago

3 miles in. Did this one at 11 minutes/mile. A bit faster than I've been doing this rest. Heart rate was higher, but not by a lot. I think I'll keep Saturday runs at more of a "pace' run to shake things up a bit. I'll still run Sundays at a slower pace that lets me get the long runs in with keeping my heart rate in a lower range.

Re: Mission Chicago

Thank you Betty. I appreciate the feedback (sanity check). I obviously want to be ready for this next marathon, but I have to be careful not to go crazy and burn myself out by August when the marathon is in October.

6 miles in.
That's 20 miles for the week. Yeah!

Re: Mission Chicago

5 miles in. Heart rate is getting better week to week. Not sure if its from running more or losing a few pounds here and there. At any rate, I'll take it.

Re: Mission Chicago

3 mile "pace" run. Just under 32 minutes. Around 10:40 per mile. Did this one outside (first one in a while). It was warm out today, 26 degrees. Not bad. Pushed a little.

Tomorrow will be back to 12 minute miles for the longish run.

Re: Mission Chicago

Added another race to the schedule today. Signed up for the Martian Half-Marathon on April 1st. Haven't run a half in a couple of years. I've got time to get ready for the race. I'm running 8 miles for long runs now. I'll make sure I get up to 10 or 12 miles before then.
