The last few weeks have been really tough. The weather is terrible, my job has entered it’s really crazy busy season, and I dread running. Running was this light, fun, invigorating activity and now I dread even looking at my running shoes.
But, even on the days I worked for 14 hours and got up early the next morning with the baby I forced myself to run. I am Dutch, I paid for this marathon, and I am going to get my money’s worth even if I have to drink every cup of Gatorade in Chicago as I walk the entire route October 9th.
Today was an excellent day! Today I set out to do a meager 4 miles and felt pretty good…. So instead of going north back home I went south and decided to follow the cart path on the Harbor Shores Golf Course. And then instead of going home I decided I wanted to see Lake Michigan so I cut through Jean Klock Park. At the end of the run I had gone 6.2 miles at a 9:55 pace! This is awesome! I feel awesome!
