Week 15 has been an “ok” week.  I ran another 30 miles.  I’m back from vacation now and the Chicago marathon is drawing close.  I have just 9 weeks left and if you factor in a 3-week taper, that leaves just 6 weeks of training.

My longest run so far has been 18 miles, but I would like to get in two 20-mile runs.  I figure will do 15 miles tomorrow, 17 miles the following Sunday and then 20 miles the Sunday after that. I’ll then run shorter the following 2 Sunday’s and run my last 20-miler 3 weeks before the marathon.

I’ll aim for 35-40 miles per week for the next 6 weeks.

My body still isn’t feeling right and I’m actually doing quite a lot of walking during my training runs.  I’m hoping things improve drastically over the next 2 months.
