Summer Came

Chicago has been in the month of Junetober as I call it. We have had a cold month, which is ideal for running. Yesterday was summer. It was warm, and a touch humid as I ran my 6 miles. I went along the Chicago River which is a nice run.

The run itself was ok, though my was a bit achy as I went along. I felt exhausted at the end. Why is it a 6 mile run can drain you more than a 9 mile run?

Sometimes I get emotionally down when I am physcially spent. I felt down all day after the run. Hope this won't be the norm for the summer.

Still I am glad to get the 6 miles in. This week I have a 5K and then a 10 mile run on the weekend.
