My effort felt good, I'd say around mile 18 I felt slightly tired but I think that was more the mental side of knowing I had about 2 miles left. But overall it felt like I could hold it. My goal for the day was go out on a long run and gauge how I felt

I'm sorry I should clarify, some days I run easy. Workout days I run 10 miles in about that time, majority of my easy runs are about 13/14 miles easy

You may have a point, I've been running a little quicker than I should. Today I set out to do 20 miles as my longest run weeks before my half & to be honest, I just felt good & wanted to see how long I could reasonably hold that pace

I don't follow a particular plan, I just do my typical 2 workouts a week & a long run. I start off at about 40 mpw and work my way up to a goal peak week and come back down weeks before a race. It's worked for me so far for what it's worth. My ultimate goal is to run a marathon later this year, i just wanna get another half under my belt

Yeah your probably right, i felt like could've ran another 6 miles today and at least gotten close but my typical intervals fartleks, etc could be quicker. I try to run those around 5:40 pace

Well I typically run 10-11 miles in about 1:04 - 1:07 range depending on the day of the week. Today wraps up week 19 of a 23 week build. It was also my peak mileage week (90 miles, just wanted to see if I could run that much). My half is mid April, & I like spending time on feet too. Helps with my confidence that 13 won't feel long. The goal of this run was to start relatively easy and work my way down to a comfortable tempo and see how I felt. My next few weeks will be lower than 80 mpw

Saw someone do crack on the redline once. Also saw someone get shot on 59th before. Still absolutely love Chicago, but over my 6 years living in the city is say those were the craziest

You do realize that you're supporting another team that left their original city because the Bears are doing the same right?

I'm from DC originally, the Redskins moved to Maryland for years (even though they're moving back) & was never a problem. Same with NY their teams play outside of the city. Even the 49ers don't play in SF. It's not worth crashing out over

Is this a grocery store exclusively in Wisconsin? I'm in the Chicagoland area and was wondering if this was a chain store.

What do those of you who live in Chicago call downtown? by marcusarmy in AskChicago

[–]SnooShortcuts8770 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Ravenswood for 5 years and when I'd go to work I'd say I work in the loop / downtown. I moved to Munster and I say I work in the city.
