Last long run going into Chicago.  Leg is still an issue.  If form is correct it minimizes the strain on the calf.  Ran 8 on the BCGW in 0:57:19.  Plan is to tuck in the middle of the pace group at Chicago and have them pull me to the finish.  Going to skip track again and just rest the leg.

Ellipical speed workout.  Not the best, but go the muscles moving and firing.

Traveled to Chicago.  Hit the Expo and went out to lunch with Bob & Jay at Mother Hubbards.  For dinner I met, Wren, Amy, Ken, Bob, Jay & Ed for dinner at Carmines.

Warm morning for the start.  Calf was bothering me, but since I was here now I am running.  Ended up being 5 minutes off my goal time and I will take it.  Tons of runners.  Makes Boston look small in comparison to the amount of runners on the course at any given time.

Hung out in Chicago with Bob and Jay.  Ate breakfast at Lou Mitchells.  Visited the Art Inst. and Sear Tower.  Had lunch at Portillo's then dinner at Giorando's.  Great day.  Weather was perfect.

Trying to get back into it.  Signed up for Boston Marathon 2011.  Swam this morning with the Master's group.  Got thrown into Susan's lane.  X-Olympic swimmer and me not swimming for 2 weeks.  Tough is an understatement. 

Went to the gym at lunch to slowly get back into weights.  With Chicago training I eased off weights and paid for it in injuries and pain on the course.  Focusing on a lot of strength and flexibility during the off season and will continue during Boston training.
