		<description><![CDATA[The Chicago Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll Half Marathon is coming up in a few days.  I&#8217;ve been thinking about it a lot the past few days.  I think a lot before a big race.  I guess it&#8217;s a good think that I over think now so I&#8217;ll be on automatic Sunday morning.

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t done much running since the Illinois Marathon.  It&#8217;s part recovery, part laziness, and a pinch of the blahs.  During this time, I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot and preparing for the next chapter in my life.
Running through Champaign-Urbana and finishing in Memorial Stadium inspired me to finish college.  Meeting Danielle&#8217;s friend MK pushed me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time and time again, the final week of tapering proves to be the most frustration week of training.  Tapering requires a lot of patience.  Training shifts from physical training to mental training.  With less physical training, the mind begins playing games with my confidence.
It requires a lot patience.  I finished my last long day on [...]]]></description>

I woke up super early to get there by 6:30.  Nature continued her bad joke on us while I drove to aid station #1.  Snow and rain continued fall.  The sun nor most of the registered runners [...]]]></description>
