I am feeling a lot better about life after a couple days recovery and eating some comfort foods and getting some new shoes -Brooks Adrenaline feel great!  Cushion and support are a strange feeling after running in old shoes and flats primarily.  :)

Back to it today:

AM TM at gym.  Easy run/Shakeout - 30min. - 3.5 mi.  Started turning it up a bit at the end to get ready for this afternoon's workout. 

PM Lunch - TM at gym - it is raining outside.

WU w/ strides,
0.25mi. @ 10.7mph, 1min. rec. jog,
0.5mi. @ 10.7mph, 1min. rec. jog,
1.5mi. MP @9.5mph, 1min. rec.,
0.5mi. @ 10.7mph, 1min. rec.,

CD w/ stretching and foam rolling.

Feeling decent in legs.  Killing it aerobically.

I'm sure you have been feeling the way I did a few weeks ago after a bad half marathon. Honestly, I'm not sure what I have for Chicago. Not much we can do now. Just trust your training and do your best I guess.
