Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

Day off, flying to Minneapolis.

A lot of things went right in this training block, and there are things I learned that I'll do differently next time. But that's a later topic.

It's been a hectic last month of work and getting the kids back to school. Before the race, in the next 48 hours, I want to get centered, relax and enjoy the moment.

Then run as well as I possibly can.

Best of luck to you Drew. You put in a very strong training period. All the hard work is done. Now you just need Sunday to come and put it all together.

Thanks guys! This is a beautiful place, at least I think so...I have to stop watching the Clubber Lang montage and get outside.
