2014 Chicago Marathon - 10/12/14

Here is a page dedicated to my second marathon! My first, in 2011, was an AWESOME experience, but it was S-L-O-W (5:26). This year, with 2 years of Jonathon Roche's Bootcamp under my belt, I am kicking my training up a notch. Ideally, I'd love to run it in 4:30. Realistically, I hope to run it in 5:00.

JR's program (my morning workouts) are 3 30-minute Intervals Workouts and 2 30-minute strength training Workouts per week. I sub one Interval Workout for Running Intervals. The rest of the week, I do BC in the AMs and my scheduled training runs in the PMs. Lots of times, Sam accompanies me some or all of the time. He's my running buddy!

We'll see where this takes me. I am hoping I won't get injured like I did in 2000. I'm seeing a PT every 2 weeks or so and she's working on the scar tissue on my ITB, so hopefully my left knee won't get messed up per usual.

Woo hoo! Chicago, here I come!
