Marathon Training

I am going to create a blog about my training for the Chicago marathon in Oct 2011.  I hope this helps me stay on track and maybe will help someone else who is thinking of running.

So here it is another Saturday morning and I was supposed to get out and go 12 miles today.  Every Saturday since I started this (5 weeks ago) the weather has been pure SHIT.  Today it’s 49 degrees, cloudy, spit rain and WINDY.  ALWAYS WINDY.

I made the choice today NOT to run.  I am getting discouraged with my long runs because of this damn weather.  Is this a SIGN?  Is the weather on the day of the Chicago marathon going to SUCK, probably.

I think I will try and get on the treadmill and just do 6 miles tomorrow and hope next week is better.

Now if I could just work on this damn diet.
