3 Days.....20% chance of rain sounds better...temps sound good too..Thanks Laura and Hayes for the info..3 days..Plans look like 10:15 football game and leaving for Chicago with 2 training partners at noon on Saturday..so that should put us there around 2:30 Chicago time, time to hang out at the Expo and change before dinner.  We have dinner reservations at an Italian Restaurant (of course) at 7 p.m.  We are staying at one of my training partners brother-in-laws loft about 5 miles from downtown...nice...3 mile run tonight and 2 tomorrow..That's it..Ready to go.

Nice Run today...Hayes tells me the weather forecast is rain on Sunday..I hope the weather forecasters are wrong as usually..5 days

7 days till the Big Day....Long weekend this weekend, going to try to run 12 this morning, very cold in Central Indiana.  Daughter just returned from Washington DC on a class trip, she had a busy 4 days..she had fun, visited sites I've never been to.  We will have to that as a family one day. My son had a busy sports related weekend, of course, 1 football game and 4 soccer games scheduled this weekend.  So far, Football game Won 20-0, Soccer games 1-0-1 with a zero-zero tie and a 7-0 win so far, 2 more games on tap at 1 and 6 today going to be a long day..Well better get ready to go run, have a meeting at 10 a.m. then off to the soccer fields.  Going to try to use my power gel during the run today.

Power-gel worked fine, have to mix it with a little bit more water.  Hands are still freezing, I am sure people think I'm nuts with shorts with gloves and a hat..even with the gloves my hands are freezing..GPS system went haywire on me about mile 9 but was running at 9:10 miles so I just ran until 1:50 hrs was up.  Gotta go busy, busy day ahead.  Meeting at 10,  soccer game at 1, field marshall duties at 3:45 and soccer game at 6..I need to get some work in too.hmmm...
