Currently training for the Chicago Marathon in October 2015. Enjoy my running diary. Sidenote:I was the first mayor in the United states to write an everyday blog, although I am no longer a mayor this is that blog.

Good Solid Run Today!
Did 5 miles in under 60 minutes (59:31) which is slightly under my goal pace, I also worked on my cadence. The optimal cadence (foot strikes) is 180 per minute, I have been hovering in the mid 160's for a long time. This week I have focused on faster turnover and running more upright. The optimal turnover allows you to be more efficient as a runner, with your foot strike more under you,(so I have read). Anyway, felt very comfortable throughout!
