Overview

My name is Josh. The 2007 Chicago Marathon was my introduction into the world of Marathon training. What an experience! For the first time ever, the event was stopped due to excessive heat. I was able to finish  in 05:05:03 and (aside from the 1 fatality during the race), couldn't have been much happier with the outcome.

Mile by mile footage of the race can be found here. Currently, I'm recuperating and will begin speed training shortly.

Long run completed

Saturday's run was our longest training run before Chicago. 20.4 miles. Its a little late this evening, so I'm afraid I can't detail the run here. Suffice it to say, it was a good confidence builder for a first time marathoner and much needed before Chicago.

Now that the long run is over, we begin to taper, and I do everything I can to rehab my ankle and stay well until October 7.

Keep Running.
