2006 has been a solid running year for me. Tonight, Gretchen and I went up to our high school and ran the Homecoming 5k. I turned in a 20:41, good enough for a PR. That will be my fourth race in a row that I have PRed. G also did really well, coming 3 seconds from her PR. She ended up winning her age group as well.

So, yeah, it's been a super running year. In '04 and '05, I was in school at night and G and I were planning our wedding, so I wasn't as focused on training as I am now. Plus, I really like the training program I'm using for upcoming the Chicago Marathon. It seems to fit the way I like to run, if that makes any sense. In any case, it's working and I'm cracking off some great times. With that though, I still feel like I've got some room to improve - which is great. That will hopefully keep me training hard through the winter.

G and I will be heading up to Chicago next weekend for the marathon where I hope to make it a 5th PR in a row. My fastest marathon is a 3:38 at the Twin Cities Marathon in Minneapolis in 2003. I've been training to run a 3:30 at Chicago. Let's hope all goes well. Oh, and look for some photobloggin' action right here next weekend!
