Fourth of July

-Freddy Mercury

Myself and 3 other members of the CRC rode to Francisville today.  36 miles round trip.  I was a good day for a ride.  It was about 62 degrees when we started, very little wind and the sun was out.  When we got back, I did a 6 mile run.  It was on the schedule for today and right know the schedule is king.
I started what I call "my heavy training" for the Chicago Marathon June 24th.  It involves running usually 6 days per week along with strength training and biking as I can fit them in.  The schedule includes "speedwork" twice a week as well a "long run" on Sunday.  I have stuck to the schedule without fail so far (although it was close one day!).  It is tough and tiring but I know it will be worth it come Chi-time.
Having said all that, it probably goes without saying that I have spent the rest of the day getting reunited with my couch.

By the way I had the idea to do another blog, thanks Sheila for brainstorming with me on ideas.  26.2 or Less.  Check it out.
