| Final long run in training preparation for Chicago Marathon on 10/11/09. I skipped the early, fully-supported organized 20-mile training run (CARA Ready-to-Run) in favor of sleeping later and going out on my own. Ran 21 miles in 2:23:53 for an average pace of 6:51/mile. Felt good overall, although experiencing some right ankle pain which has already significantly diminished. Plan on taking an easy, relaxed 8 mile run Monday in Houston after work. |

| Sore right ankle following yesterday's long run, although the pain subsided drastically in a 24 hour period. May be attributed to new shoes I started running in last Monday 9/14 and probably still breaking in. (although it's the same Nike Vomero 4 I've always run in). Probably should have rested today but decided to go out for a relaxed 8 mile jog. Started to experience some noticeable pain/discomfort in the last 2 miles. 8 miles in 59:25 for a 7:25/mile pace. Probably going to stay off the ankle with a rest day on Tuesday - don't want to take any chances with the Chicago Marathon approaching in less than 3 weeks. |

Early morning flight to Houston today (4:45am wake-up call was not enjoyable).
Went out for a post-work run around 18:15, ran 12 miles in 1:26 exactly for a 7:10/pace. Started feeling right ankle pain about 5 miles in, even after 5 days off... I'm a little worried.
Plans today (Tues 9/29) for an easy 8 miles |

| 8 miles in 56:54 for an average pace of 7:07/mile. Ankle is feeling better. From here on out (until Octover 11th race day), need to take it easy - light, mild runs with limited mileage. |
