Monday Miles: August 22-28

My half-marathon is getting closer and closer. Yikes! I’m glad I did the Midsummer’s Night Run, if only to kick up my long-run mileage. My training has been pretty sporadic and dependent on my mood (plenty of “I’m tired!” and “I’d rather do yoga!” creep in there), so I thought if I started writing my weekly running plan down on the internet FOR ALL TO SEE, I’d actually stick to it.

(For the record, I have little faith in myself.)

This is a weird week to kick this off, as Matt and I are headed to Chicago on Wednesday! I am very excited. I have never been and really want to eat some deep dish pizza and cheesecake and, in general, be decadent and debaucherous. So here’s the plan:

Monday: 5k
Tuesday: 8k
Wednesday: off
Thursday: off
Friday: 8k
Saturday: off
Sunday: 5k (if we get home on time and I am not exhausted!)

I hope to move the long run (15k!) to the following Monday night, but that will depend on how exhausted I am when we return. And yes, this means I am looking for a great 8k route in Chicago! Anyone have a suggestion?
