Just starting to get used to the idea of running anywhere since I don't have to worry about figuring out my distance...

PT exercises

Fri., 5/15: 2/22 or so. A little sore. PT exercises

Sun., 5/17: Magellan Development Chicago Spring Half Marathon. The inaugural year, unseasonably cool (high 40s-low 50s) and sunny. 2-loop course from Lakeshore East down by McCormick Place. Went in with sort of low expectations, after having felt flat for a while, but finished with a PR of 2:11:11. Thought along the way about the effects of long runs at faster pace--maybe making me feel more flat all the time, but did it net the faster time? Concluded that I need more variety in training paces.

Weekly total: 18

Garmin arrived Saturday, but didn't get charged, etc. in time for race.

Cool and very windy today. 1.5 w/Mats on bike, varying speed, from brisk walking to moderately slow running. Another 1.5 or so alone, with Cricket Hill 4x.

Bought a new exercise ball; Mats popped the old one.

PT exercises.

Took kids to the beach, passed the time with crunches, pushups, planks, etc.

Walked around the zoo. Mom is here. Nice day, but not as warm as yesterday.

Tuesday we walked around the Field Museum, but that seemed too lame to be cross-training.
Today is the third day in a row of sub-0 wind chill temps, so I haven't been out. Had work/dinners last two nights, so no gym. I haven't yet admitted aloud that I'm getting tired of winter, because I don't actually mind running when it's above 10 or so. I'm just really tired of it being prohibitively cold. Saturday is (improbably) supposed to be 52 and rainy. A step in the right direction, I guess. Meanwhile, I need to run more often.

Thought about getting up to run this morning but decided that if I worked tonight, I'd allow myself to run during preschool tomorrow.
