I’m a woman; therefore, I change my mind

Despite my last post, I have changed my mind. I signed up for the Chicago Marathon two nights ago. I went o the gym on Monday to test a theory: that being that my runs outside are bad because of my allergies. And I was right. I had a great 5 mile run on the treadmill. Fastest 5 miles I’d ever done, I didn’t have to walk at all, and I just felt great. So I think I’m going to stick to the treadmill (joining a new gym this weekend after the move) until my new health insurance starts in June (which is the best thing ever to me) when I can start getting allergy shots and hopefully get rid of these allergies altogether. 

I ran again today and did intervals on the treadmill. It went pretty well. And again no walking. 

 

I move tomorrow so hopefully I’ll be able to get back here and do some real posting re: the Mini Marathon and training for the marathon. Ciao.
