Boston Marathon 2012 Training Resumes with a 2.1 Miler

Well, the long three day layoff (after 83 training days in a row) is finally over.  Went out for a quick 2.1 Mile run around Welles Park.  May add some mileage this afternoon.  Pic below:

In front of the Welles Park Gymnasium

Evening Run: 8 Miles along the Chicago River trail to Lincolnwood and back.

60 Miles!

I have reached my maximum weekly training mileage!  Only two more weeks before the gradual taper begins before the Boston Marathon.  Still injury free, although I had a slight scare earlier in the week with my shin.  But intermittent ice, aspirin and swimming over a 48 hour period seems to have healed it.  Now I seem to be a-okay. Reminder to self: Must remain vigilant against injuries!  Ran 3.75 mile recovery run this morning around Welles Park.

60 miles total for the week.
