Personal:

I am a 34 year old male from Chicago, Illinois. I graduated from the University of Colorado in May 2006 and started running in the spring of 2007. Since then I have gone from a max of about 220 pounds to my current weight of roughly 175 lbs, and more importantly have developed a true joy and passion for running.

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.
