Monday - 4 miles in 44:29 (11:06 pace). Ran to Road Runner Sports and back for gel shopping. Not super impressed by the running gel selection, but I did finally get a running visor!!
Tuesday - 60 minutes strength. It was supposed to be a semi-private group session, but it was me, myself, and I. So I pretty much got my ass kicked for 60 minutes. Welcome back to the gym, Sharkie.
Wednesday - 5.58 miles (6, I swear. I forgot to restart my watch at a corner) in 1:02:54 (11:16 pace). Ran through Illinois Medical District for a change of scenery.
Thursday - 60 minutes strength. Followed by wine tasting! What can I say, you can take the Sharkie out of Sonoma...Anyways, there's an adorable little wine shop in the West Loop that does wine tastings on Thursdays. I'll be back!
Friday - 45 minutes group conditioning.
Saturday - 12.99 miles in 2:29:25 (11:30 pace) - nice training run on the lakefront. Followed by dinner at this Chicago legend:

So tasty!
Sunday - rest day! And by rest I mean grocery store, twisted spoke for bloodies, and grilling with Mr. Sharkie. The perfect day!!
Total mileage: 23
Overall outlook: Better! Especially once the gym soreness wore off
Next race: Madison Mini!
Have a great week everyone!!
I can't help but think of Sharknado now when I come to your blog!Glad you are back on the exercise train! A couple winters ago I'd run through the Medical district too, but mostly to Arrigo park.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great week as well!
