It's time for another recap of how marathon training has been going. I've been travelling a ton so my schedule has been kind of all over the place with lots of resting/travel days thrown in.
I still can't believe I'm already weeks into training and got my corral assignment for the Chicago Marathon this week. I'm in C again like last year. Corral C party anyone? That definitely gives me a twinge of anxiety knowing that race day is approaching quicker than I think!

Travelling for a volunteer weekend in Boston and then #NP_Summit threw off my schedule a little bit, but I think things went fine despite having to be flexible and taking some more rest. I try not to stress and just fit in most of my workouts if I can when travelling. I didn't fit in all 13 miles on Saturday for Week 4 but that hilly 10K makes up for it in my mind! Definitely need to foam roll more and drink more water for real.

Getting to run with Sarah and go to November Project Boston twice and then getting to go to NP Summit were amazing. I'll recap NP Summit sometime soon when I figure out something to say besides OMGITWASAWESOME. It was really great getting to run in different places, challenge myself with some workouts, and hang out/workout with different people these past couple of weeks.
How do you deal with training when you are travelling?
LOVED seeing you in Boston and cannot wait to see you in TWO MORE DAYS!
ReplyDeleteI KNOWWWW.
DeleteCorral C! Very nice! I'm in Corral H. It'll be my first year not in Corral G, but they made the standards faster to be in Corral G than in previous years, and since I plan to run a marathon three weeks before Chicago, I'm a-ok with being in Corral H, since my time goals will be basically nonexistent for Chicago this year.

Well girl, you're running a marathon right before so ENJOY Chicago. Fingers crossed for the next two months that the weather is nice!
DeleteI LOVE that donut tank!
ReplyDeleteThanks,I love it too :)
DeleteYou are going to kill Chicago!!! I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much lady!
DeleteI'm so jealous that you are running Chicago again! I sure wish I could do it this year. Hoping that some time off training will give my feet a break and ready to hit the pavement next year!
ReplyDeleteI always manage to train, even on vacation. Sometimes I have to move certain runs around--usually my long runs!
Aw definitely rest up, Chicago will be there next year!
