9-10 Miles Easy

Training For: 2026 Chicago Spring Half Marathon

It was warm (57F) but misty and very windy. The wind bothered me and made it slower than I would have liked but I overall felt pretty good/happy with my run. I fueled starting around 45 minutes and did so every 30 minute after that. I was pretty drained by mile 9 because of the continued wind but got it done and was very proud of it.

Just a reminder – when it is rainy – make sure to add more body glide around the sleeve areas of my arms as that really irritated my skin.

Start Time: 9:18 AM
