Running my last official race before the Marathon. Waking up at 415 am for a 7am start of the Fort to Base Race.
It is the second annual race at Great Lakes Naval Station and Fort Sheridan. I haven't visited either place so it should be FUN!! (except the getting up at 4:15 am part)! Just a mere 11.5 miles for this race. Piece of cake compared to last week's 20 mile run. :)
It will be 38 degrees at race start so this time I am wearing my cold weather gear and a hat/gloves. Huge change from my training gear this summer and even last week!
From the time I started keeping track on Friday May 11, I've logged:
- 150 workouts (bike, run, strength/pilates),
- 620 total miles of run/bike!
The Marathon seems so close yet so far away. I feel like I have been training FOREVER! I will enjoy a little less structure to my running schedule but I will miss the training too. Never thought I would say that!!
I should be sleeping but I am blogging because I volunteered for post homecoming pick up. What was I thinking!
This picture has nothing to do with running or my training but since homecoming is the reason I am blogging when I should be sleeping...I thought I would include it.
Race update tomorrow...
