Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

20-22 miles easy

20.09 mi @ 9:18 min/mi AP in 3:06:52

Northern Chicago suburbs craptastic run. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. I went into the run with lingering soreness in my adductors from Wednesday's strength workout - really? Wearing all my fuel didn't help. I hit up a really nice path, only to find out there were sections of really deep snow and ice every quarter mile. My energy plummeted around mile 9 or 10. Not sure how much is because of recovery from last week's half and the last 3 weeks of running long runs on hills. I wanted to hit 22 miles, but was worried about injury and had the pressure of getting the car back on time. Later in the day through Sunday I thought I had strained my quad again. Just gonna remember the good runs and be grateful to get in a craptastic run before the marathon (and hopefully not on marathon day). In hindsight, 20 miles of crappy running never felt easier! I think I'm mentally ready for the distance now. :)
