4 more Days till Chicago!

Just saw Dathan Ritzenhein is doing the Denver Rock 'n Roll 1/2 Marathon for his NYC prep - should be a good workout for him, and any run in altitude is obviously beneficial for hard training. Here's a quick rundown of the Chi contenders - should be an amazing race to watch!!!

Ran last night after eating dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant located over by SLU - pretty damn awesome if I must say so. Did 6 miles (2X3 mile loop). First 3 were really easy and nothing too difficult. Felt awesome, so picked it up - not a good idea. Stomach started to make some awful sounds, and the pain started to come and go. Picked up the pace, and by the end was clenching and almost to the verge of panic as I was nowhere near any facility and didn't have a shirt so couldn't use a public place. It was pretty awful. Hit the last 3 at sub 6:30 pace, my lungs were on FIRE. Barely made it before any accident happened, was sweating bullets. So for all those who read this, never, NEVER eat ethnic foods before any run!!!
