12

12 this morning w/amy biking next to me. felt pretty good today.
it was the last time that amy will go with me on a long run. it has been soo nice to have her by my side on so many long runs. we usually talk the whole time and have gotten to know each other
so well during this training season. it is so fitting that she is coming to chicago with me to cheer
me on to the finish! i'm getting so excited. lots of details to figure out still, but it's coming together.
i'm working on my playlist and my list of what to bring. looking forward to some amazing italian food in chicago! and, really looking forward to seeing my friend amanda! we met through blogs almost 4 years ago and have so much in common. it's going to be so much fun to hang out together and be there together when the race starts.

week 16 is done.
week 17 will be nice and easy - 4,6,3,8
week 18 - marathon week!

I bet you're getting excited! I saw the U-tube video of the the Chicago course and it looks like you'll have a great run! I can't wait to hear about it. Happy tapering!
