I just got in from a mile run… I was gonna do 5. It wasn’t until I was at the 1/2 mile mark, thinking about my week that it hit me…
Today is a rest day.
I guess I was so focused on not missing a workout that subconsciously I decided to add one. I was going to continue on and do the 5 miles but given that I injured myself before from over training i though it was a bad idea.
Tomorrow will be a rest day as well, with the exception of an Adidas miCoach running assessment.
Over the next few weeks I will be reviewing the Adidas miCoach Pacer and the iMapMyRun iPhone application in comparison with my Nike+ Sportband.
Here’s some good news. After emailing and calling what seemed like everyone on the planet I finally got an entry in to the Rock N’ Roll Chicago 1/2 Marathon on August 1st. I’m really excited to get the opportunity to run in such a cool event.
I will be doing live updates right here on ChicagoNow.com through out the race just like we did for the Shamrock Shuffle.
Lastly. If you see David Wallach from Pace of Chicago give him a high 5. He was really trying to help me get in to the Rock N’ Roll 1/2 and I really appreciate it.! Thanks Dave!
Ok time for breakfast and then work.
