This morning I headed out for a 10 mile long run. The route this time was along Sheridan Rd, to Marine Drive, and then on the Lake Shore Drive. Part of this route was my old running route when I lived in the Lakeview area. I have missed it, so it was nice to be see it again. I like this route, because I go by some lovely homes and gardens. It is always nice scenery seeing to gardens in full bloom.
Not many folks out this morning, but those who were running all said "morning" or "hi". I appreciated that.
I felt great the first 7 miles. The last 2.5-3 I felt I struggled. I think fatigue was settting in. I finished in 2:03:56, which is decent. I believe I am on pace for a sub 3 hour half marathon in a few weeks. This will give me a good idea of how I am doing in a longer race.
I am running the Rock n' Roll Chicago on August 2. Should be a warm day, which could be trouble.
We'll see.
Charlie
