Since we are 18 weeks from the Chicago Marathon, I was supposed to start training this week. However, since I am traveling this week, I've decided to do 2 more weeks of running 25 to 30 miles and go with a 16 week marathon training program. It's hard to get quality workouts done on the road, so just getting some easy miles will be more beneficial. I've had a hard time coming up with a training plan this year, sort of stimied on what approach I want to take. I should just get someone to do it for me.

I'm in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, visiting my in-laws. An interesting place to run, I just run 2.5 miles to the ocean and then run up and down the boardwalk a few times. Very tempting because I run past a lot of bars, fudge shops, salt water taffy joints, pizza parlors, and funnel cakes galore. I think I'll go to the arcade now.

    Running while on vacay? You are a better man than me. So are you training for CM'12 even though you arent gonna run it? Does this mean I can convince you to run it bandit and pace with me? That would be AWESOME!

    Oh I'm signed up, so there is a chance I will run it. Secretly signed up in the day it sold out. Probably a bad decision, but oh we'll. It's just money.

    You don't need 18 weeks to train for a marathon.

    Are you and Chanthana interchangeable?

    I think 15-16 weeks is enough. And people often do mistaken me for Jeff.
