Loop on 1300 W to 6200, back on Canal Road, and loop around Valley Park. My hips are still feeling fatigue from Saturday. 7:11 average.

Warm up to the track 3.25 miles. 4 x 200 strides. Lots of high schooler dodging today. The gym teacher is awesome and tells them to stay out of lane one. But, high schoolers can be a little dense, so I almost ran a few over. I ran up on one and he uttered a nice expletive at me. So, the workout may have been a touch off. I don't care too much. It is their track.

5 x 1000 at 3:30 with 400 recovery. I'm pretty dialed in to marathon effort, so 5k pace was pretty tough.

3:30, 3:29, 3:30, 3;28, 3:26. (Looks short after 12!) That should make 6:10-6:13 pace much easier.

1.5 mile cooldown. Taper on . . .

Same workout pre-St. George 2013: 3:27, 3:38, 3:37, 3;38, 3;38 Disclaimer: It was REALLY windy that day. But, still . . .

Unless things change, it looks like the weather in Chicago will be a lot like today's.

Around 60 degrees. Hopefully minimal wind. Forties would be optimal, but with a high of 62, it should be comfortable. 7:01 average. Marathon paced workout tomorrow to dial in 6:10.

Oh, it feels amazing to have legs back. I have to get rid of my watch next week becausebecause I keep wanting to push the pace and prove I'm in shape. Silly, I know. So, I warmed up two miles and then ran 3 x 10 minutes at marathon effort with five minute recovery. First set: 5:59 average. Second set 5:57 average. Thirdset I did a two mile and opened it up. 5:57, 5:42 for a 5:49 average. A bit faster than 6:10 pace, but it sure felt good. Ran these on the River Trail, which has a little roll to it. Mostly flat, though. Bring on Chicago!
