Yesterday was my last long run before the 1/2 marathon! It's probably my last long run in Chicago for this year. I really enjoyed it. The weather was great...it was cool enough and there was light rain during parts of it. I love my running playlist and get excited when I hear a favorite song---yesterday I got super happy when I heard "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. Even though, I've only been doing long runs for a month I may miss them but don't worry I'll get over it quickly.
Overall, my training for the 1/2 marathon has been an awesome experience. Each long run was a challenge but was able to complete without any major issues. I had the opportunity to enjoy the views from the Lake Shore path and ran 6 miles with Yolanda :) Shout out to Yolanda for being a running buddy! Although, we only ran together once, knowing that one of my great friends is also training helps me stay motivated. Thanks Yolanda! Keep up the great work!
OMG! I was soo excited about the shout out! lol You are doing great Liz! You are going to rock this NC 1/2! And also know that YOU motivate me! Clear example: Me thinking "I am not running today, I'm tired". Then I see you as I drive up to the corner, with your Obama t-shirt, fixing your headphones, and then you just took off. How could I not go?! So I went, and ran into you! lol All that to say, you inspired me! YES WE CAN! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes Liz is an inspiration without her knowing it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the run this weekend!
