Notes:

• I always get stupid excited when I see another runner where I live, because it’s so rare. On Monday I ran through a tiny little neighborhood for the first time, and saw another runner back there! Cool!
• My schedule was a bit nuts this week – I had two days of work travel right before my Chicago Marathon guests arrived! I tried to cram in as many workouts as I could, ha. I am happy I got in what I did!
• My speedwork was challenging this week because I did it in the early am in the pitch dark in a new to me area while on travel… with a very dim headlamp. I couldn’t see for sh*t! Time to change those headlamp batteries!
• It was so nice and cool for my long run with Steve. 40s?! I have not seen those temps since May! Woo hoo!
• We had a blast spectating the Chicago Marathon. It was inspiring to see so many people out there working hard, and SUPER exciting to see Gina run a new PR!!!! It’s time to celebrate!
