My 2011 Chicago Marathon race recap, part 2
While I shared race details yesterday, I couldn’t call my recap finished without thanking some people; not just for Sunday, but for the past year. I’ve had a lot of help, a lot of love and a lot of support from many people as I tackled my goals. I mentioned in Part 1 that for... Read more »

My 2011 Chicago Marathon race recap, part 1
Never give up. Three simple words that I chose months ago as my personal mantra. Little did I know how important they really would be yesterday. I set a lofty goal for this year’s Chicago Marathon. I wanted to run a sub 5 hour marathon. After last year’s lofty goals, I believed I could do... Read more »

I run the marathon for...
It’s Chicago Marathon eve. In the morning I’ll join the 45,00o participants as we take to the streets of Chicago. This will be marathon number two for me. I will run for Pam, Kae and Penny. I will think of them when I struggle and smile. I will run for my dad; I’m glad he’s... Read more »

T-minus 3 days and counting until the Chicago Marathon
I’m not nervous, but I am anxious today. Actually, my mind is racing a bit. So bear with me as this post will jump around a bit. I woke up early and got my run in, 40:00 easy, zone 1. I got back around 5:15ish, crawled back into bed and fell asleep! Ha! Luckily I... Read more »

A month and a little less than a day away...
Holy crap! That’s what I kept saying to myself yesterday at the Chicago Marathon Charity Operations workshop. It’s getting close. Like I need to tell you. If you’re a runner you know how close the marathon is. If you’re not sure, I just put it in the title up there. I’m anxious not just because... Read more »

A cowbell, 13 miles and 9 bags...
Here’s to hoping everyone had an awesome weekend. I had a blast though it started a bit rough. While Friday’s live chat went well! And I was able to raise $750 towards the goal of $1,000 I set for the day! Awesome! Thank you to those who donated! I appreciate the support. If you didn’t... Read more »

Is someone effing with me? 71 days to go!
Anyone else hear that ticking noise? No? It’s just me? Seriously? Great! Either time is flying by or someone is screwing with me. Which hasn’t happened since my sophomore year at U of I when my jackhole friends kept effing with my clock and my calendar. I was a week off and kept thinking I... Read more »

Great news and some reinforcement
If you follow me on twitter, or if we’re friends on facebook, you already know the news. K’s cardiology appointment went well. But I promised I’d share the news once I knew. And frankly I need to work out what’s been swimming around in my head the past 24-hours. So you’re along for the ride…wheeeeeee... Read more »

12 awesome and wet miles!
Saturday’s long run was the first long run in a while I was excited for and not really nervous about. After my talk with Coach Jen earlier this week and a chat with Lauren, I’m all about embracing the heat and overall keeping a positive mental attitude. Besides getting ready physically for the marathon, I’m... Read more »

Daniel "cubicle dad" Malinski
Working dad of two awesome daughters, with a fabulous Pharmacist wife. I'm a runner who lost over 115 pounds while training and running the Chicago Marathon the last two years and raising funds for the American Heart Association. Some days balancing all of this is easy, other days I feel like I need to drink heavily.
