Been awhile since I have posted anything, so let me bring you up to speed. I finished last year's Chicago Marathon and swore I would never do anything like that again....Then a month later I was running again and looking forward to more races. I decided to do three events this year in my effort to raise money for Africa: Chicago Rock and Roll Half Marathon (8/2/09), Chicago Triathlon (8/30/09), and Chicago Marathon (10/11/09).
The Half Marathon was this past Sunday and I am happy to say I finished it safe and injury-free. I had been battling plantar fasciatis (sp), sore quad muscles, and a knee injury. But I was able to finish the race without any of those affecting my run. Granted, I had to take some time off training for these things, hence my time suffered slightly. I finished at 1:50:55, which I was OK with. Really wanted to have finished faster, but oh well.
My next challenge is trying to train for the Triathlon and the Marathon at the same time. I will keep you posted on my progress.
