Subject: RE: Run 1000 miles in 2017The Chicago marathon is in the books.
It has been an eventful 3 weeks.
On September 24th my brother committed suicide. I am away from home at university (Bachelor of Nursing ). I had 4 exams and 1 paper due the week after he passed. I finished up my last exam on the Friday morning before his service. I attended the service then drove 900 miles to Chicago. I picked up my race kit on Saturday afternoon. I slept in my car at the Hyatt Regency parkade. I ran the marathon (3:10:45 ) (9 seconds over my PB for the distance ) on Sunday morning then drove 900 miles home so I could be back in time for classes on the Tuesday. I ran another half marathon this past Sunday. That is it for racing this season. Now I am going to take it easy for the next couple of months and start up fresh in the new year. University is taking up much of my time these days.
I did Ironman Boulder, Wilderman (offroad 140.6 ), 2 70.3s, 4 Olympics, 2 marathons, 5 half marathons a 10k and a 5k race this season. I am tired and want to relax for a bit. |
