Long Run...and the Big Countdown Begins!

It was a beautiful morning in Chicago. The skies were clear and the sun rose over the Lake. I decided to make this my long-run day instread of Sunday, which was a bit blustery for a long run.

Yesterday at sunset I cross trained and did 18 miles on the bike, from Edgewater down to Buckingham Fountain on the Lakefront Path. yesterday, because of the NE headwind, it was sort of tough to go backl north and it was pretty chilly on the hands.

Today, the 16 miles went OK until mile 14. But then, I think my electrolytes were lacking and I needed to Gatorade. I had none and started feeling dizzy. Anyway, I did the 16 miles but did a few short walks to rest up.

My schedule for the week will be: Tuesday 4 miles, Wednesday: 9 miles, Friday: Rest, Saturday: 18 miles.
