Sun Mar 24: AM. In Chicago for the Shamrock Shuffle 8k Run. Ran the 8k in 27:32. Felt tough, especially the last couple miles. It wasn’t awful, but I’d hoped to be a little faster. I wasn’t used to running in such a large, competitive race—I finished around 260th. I think it mostly helped psychologically to have so many people around me, but it also made me feel like a very small fish in a big pond. My mind was telling me, “Go faster! There shouldn’t be this many people in front of you.” But my legs and body were hurting and unable to push any harder. The weather was pretty good—cloudy, a little windy and in the low 30s.
Mon Mar 25: AM. A 78 min run on the Lakefront Trail along Lake Michigan and on the Chicago Riverwalk. It was cloudy and 48°.
Tues Mar 26: No AM run—tired, slept in. PM. A 45 min run on the Capital City Trail and around Monona Bay. It was dark, very windy, and 33°.
Wed Mar 27: AM. A 50 min run on the Capital City Trail including a mile with Jonah in ~5:40. It was dark and in the upper 20s. PM. A 40 min run on the Capital City Trail and around Monona Bay. It was dark and 33°.
Thurs Mar 28: AM. A 60 min run on the Mendota Lakeshore Path to Picnic Pt. It was sunny and 27°.
Fri Mar 29: Only ran once again today. Been beat lately. AM. A 32 min run on the Capital City Trail. It was sunny and 22°.
Sat Mar 30: AM. A 60 min run on the Mendota Lakeshore Path to Picnic Pt. It was cloudy and 36°. PM. A 78 min run on the Capital City Trail. It was partly cloudy and in the 40s.
Tomorrow I start the big push.
