As you all know and are probably sick of hearing about, I finally ran that 50K two weeks ago. \u00a0It was a doozey of a race!<\/p>\n
In between the completion of that race and the beginning of our vacation (which we just got home from two days ago) I had 6 days. \u00a0I took two day off from running after the 50K and then did smallish runs of 5-8 miles. \u00a0Nothing too aggressive. \u00a0Then we left for our vacation.<\/p>\n
We drove all day Friday, August 1…16 hrs or so on the road to reach our destination, Des Moines, Iowa. \u00a0The very next day, I ran a 5 miler. \u00a0The day after that 9…..I took two rest days during our 10 day vacation. \u00a0I put in close to 50 running miles during our vacation.<\/p>\n
We drove back home this last Sunday. \u00a0I took Monday off as a rest day due to mountains of laundry and housework.<\/p>\n
Today was a run day. \u00a0Before I started on my run, I decided to look at a schedule and figure out just where I was as far as training for the Chicago Marathon was concerned. \u00a0It is 8 weeks away.<\/p>\n
I knew that I would be behind in my training for Chicago. \u00a0I was not prepared to find out this morning that I only have 6 weeks to train for this race and still get in a nice 2 week taper! \u00a0Yikes!!!<\/p>\n
I also was not too terrible thrilled to discover that the schedule says I should run 20 miles tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
So, tomorrow morning, I’ll be out there early to get those miles in.<\/p>\n
I had kinda talked myself into believing that all of my super long and super hot runs were behind me once I finished that Ultra. \u00a0Wrong.<\/p>\n
Oh well, the nice cool running weather in Iowa was nice while it lasted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
