I’m back to business and the races start tomorrow. Chicago marathon. I’m hoping to defend my title, but really using it as a chance to get back into the racing mindset and a stepping stone to New York Marathon in November. It is beautiful weather over here and should be a great roll. I’m up against the guy who I beleive was the toughest athlete in the marathon at Beijing, a Japanese guy named Soejima. Plus 2nd from 2007 (Krige Schabort) and the winner from 2006(Josh George).

Great to be back in the game and cant wait for tomorrow.
