Running Update and Race to Wrigley 5k

So I’m finally getting back into the running grove. The biggest mistake that I have made was going into hibernation mode after the marathon last year. I literally did not run 1 mile until 4 months later. So stupid.

Well, I finally have a solid month of training under my belt, and even though I’m still extremely out of shape, I can start to see the light. My long runs are getting easier every day, and I actually did my first speed work out today, with a running team at Harper College, for the first time since high school (9 years ago… #%*&, i’m getting old). It definitely kicked my butt.

This past weekend I went down to Wrigley Field to do the Race to Wrigley 5k with my Dad and two little brothers. For only being 8 and 10, and running 7 minute something miles in the race, I think Ryan (my other dysfunctionally fast brother - www.rybread.com), may have something to start to worry about. Heck, they’ll be nipping on my heels any day now…
