T-Minus 22 Days and Counting. . .

Well, here we are about three weeks until the race and the training continues to progress. Did a good 3 mile run on Wednesday in 25:05, with the last mile in about 8:15. Hit the upper weights afterward and felt really fresh and rested during both parts of the workout. While speed isn't really a focus at this point in the training, the mileage base that I've built is allowing me to go fast with minimal effort during these shorter runs.

Going to do 4 miles tonight to keep the legs fresh and ready for Sunday's 20-miler in Chicago. Temps are supposed to be cool Sunday and the minimal rain threat is supposed to take place later in the day. Though it's a run, and not a race, we're going to treat it as the latter and attempt to maintain our race pace of 10 minutes/mile including any stops for Gatorade and gel. It's a flat course so I'm hopeful things will go smoothly. More updates soon.
