Lance Running Chicago

I checked out the Runner's World Discussions for the first time in a month or so and found a thread under the 2008 Chicago Marathon forum that Lance will be running Chicago this October. Based on the comments it seems runners in general are tiring of Lance. I ran NYC the first year Lance ran it and would not have known he was out on the course with me. I'm sure Chicago will be the same for my race; he'll just be one of the many thousands out there ahead of me. Personally, I believe the additional press is good for the sport.
Training has been steady this week; nothing spectacular but not totally sucking either. I still haven't jumped back on to my planned scheduled that was interrupted late July with my bout with shingles. I am trying cutting back on the scheduled weekday mileage to see if I can get in my scheduled weekend long runs. There's a 40% chance of rain here all weekend; hoping for the light drizzly stuff to keep things cool and comfortable.
