weekend update
well, it’s going to be a pretty short update as i didn’t run on friday, saturday or sunday. we were over in michigan for my brother’s wedding and i didn’t make the time to get out and run. truth be told, i was gearing up on saturday morning to go for a run but my kids wanted me to go swimming with them in the hotel pool instead. i guess my choice says i’m a dad first and a runner second.

i found a new pic from my 2008 Lakefront Marathon effort which was taken at around 19M. note to self: work on the abs before wearing compression shirt.
this morning i got in an easy five miles and felt better as the run went along. i’m signed up for the chicago 50k this saturday so i’ll be taking it easy in preparation for it. at the moment, i’m not real excited about grinding out another 31 mile effort but i did pay the $40 entry fee and the weather looks reasonable.
last week, my friend Ben (who is signed up for the chicago 50k too) bounced me a visualization of my marathon and ultra efforts on a US map. seeing it got me thinking about putting together a timeline of sorts for my marathon/ultras or perhaps for my 18 years of running. we’ll see.
