Rain and flood everywhere. Cooked steak at home using Prime USDA steak that a friend from Bacchus (in Rockwell) gave to me, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Turned out okay.
I’m turning 60 this year and decided to run a marathon in October to check off a bucket list item. I’m a casual runner but never run any kind of race.
When I told a friend that I want to try to run a marathon, he gladly gave up his Chicago Marathon spot to me (he’s run this marathon for about 20 years straight).
I’m using Nike’s 18-week plan to train. It is quite a struggle specially the end of week long runs but I’m getting better. Didn’t help that I had to go to France for work but managed to sneak in a few runs. Any tips for training, marathon day, diet, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
