??? Chicago Marathon ??? Long-Term Running Goals: Find balance. Run with my girls. Break 15 in the 5k. 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.

| AM: 14 miles, easy to moderate. A strange mix of peaceful recovery, self-doubt, static noise and expectation. Taper madness.

| 8 miles on the treadmill during the quarterly company call.
Technology's relentless dehumanization does have its moments.

| AM: 7 miles. Standard 5-day out tuneup. 1 warmup, 5 miles MP (29:32, 5:55 avg), 1 cooldown. Felt pretty easy, and taper kicking in.
Light rain and humid, tail end of summer running. I'm ready to run this race and turn the page.

| 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.

| AM: 4 miles. Met up with Jason which was very cool. We headed over a bridge and followed a beautiful path along the Mississippi. A few strides by the hotel, then jogged to Joe's hotel for a huge, free breakfast at Embassy Suites.
The energy of walking into so many crazy fast runners is exciting and unnerving. I've read stories about guys getting pulled out of a Double-A game and two hours later they're walking onto a Major League field. Small fish in big pond syndrome. It's a good thing, even if it's hard to get the head around.
Perfect weather here. It's going to be an exciting race tomorrow.
