marathon training - week 3

Saturday morning, I got up at 4:45 a.m. and got ready for my training. I was feeling a little bit tired because of the hot and humid weather. I got out of the house at around 5:30 a.m. and went downtown for my 6:00 a.m. training. It was actually a beautiful morning, with the sunshine overlooking the lake and the Chicago skyline. I managed to take some photos with my iPhone.

It was easy and convenient for me to do my training downtown because of the location. Also, training downtown is less crowded compare to Lincoln Park. However, I like running in Lincoln Park, the crowd motivates me and feeds my energy. So, I am torn between convenience and atmosphere. But when it comes down to it, I performed better when I ran in Lincoln Park.

Overall, I wasn't satisfied with my run this morning so I went running again this afternoon to make up for it. I was tired but happy.

See you next week. Happy running.
