It seems like the weeks just keep flying by. We've just got one more week of higher mileage until I can wind down and start the taper. This week was a return to normal after going easy last week in preparation for the half marathon. I was sore early in the week and so took things a bit easy. I was able to shake off the rest of the soreness Wednesday night doing 800m intervals with the Redditors again. I took things a bit easy keeping it around 10K pace before busting out a sub-5K effort for the final interval to finish strong.
On Thursday I went to the launch party for Runner's World since I'm actually in the magazine! The group that I run the track with on Wednesdays also known as
606 R/iver R/unners or
r/RunnersInChicago were featured as part of an article on Run This City: Chicago. A photographer was sent out to take pictures of us a month or so ago and we felt silly and he felt silly since he knew nothing about running, but we got a great shot of the group. We've grown since then and hopefully will continue to grow. Who doesn't love speedwork followed by a few pints?

For the weekend I got a little lazy and did my runs later in the afternoon, but it didn't matter since the cooler temps meant that the runs were still pretty awesome and I didn't completely sweat through all my clothes for once.
