I have no extra time in my life. And I have no earthly clue how I’m going to fit fall marathon training around my summer work schedule without having to either get up at 3am or split my workouts. I’m marginally hopeful that I can flex my hours a bit to allow for sleep.

I got into Chicago! See above for the cause of my current anxiety, ha!

I think I strained my hamstring 2.5 weeks ago. The good news is it's starting to feel better (more like a dull ache instead of a sharp pain). I have a PT appointment on Wednesday. 

Also, it's dark and cold. Grumble.

Not really.

Last week I did 12 trail miles with 1750 feet elevation and felt so great I could have done another hour. The only thing was I was starving but if I have an aid station I think I’d be ok for 4 hours.

My Dickens Village set.  It's gotten to be so big, I don't put it out anymore because it takes so long to put out and break down. It's still my favorite though.
