Right now the legs are feeling better. But there's still discomfort in the right ankle. When it starts to hurt, I tend to slow down which alters my normal running gait. It then leads to hip pain and lower back pain. During my last ~11.6 mile run, I focused on maintaining my form which helped. One good thing is that the bump on my anterior tibial tendon is finally gone. I might ramp up my weekly mileage a little in the next couple of weeks just so I would have some sort of fitness to complete the Chicago Marathon without it hurting too much.
Goal A: 4:00
Goal B: 4:30
Goal C: finish
While the mojo may be gone, I am quite excited to be visiting Chicago again. One thing I'm looking forward to besides the marathon is the food! I'm planning on eating at the following places while I'm in Chicago. Feel free to give me some suggestions.
This weekend, I ate a bone-in ribeye at Cask n' Cleaver. Good stuff, but nowhere near as good as the one that I had in Kansas.

Holy crap that's a lot of meat!
I'm so excited to go! Yay! I'm going to eat some bread. The last time I ate steak before a long run, I did not have the energy to finish up my long run.
Cheeborger cheeborger! Have a Coke for me at the Billy Goat (no Pepsi). And have fun in Chicago. It's one of my favorite places to visit!
Get that ankle healthy asap! I really hope to see you in vegas, although I sure as heck won't be anywhere near the 3:40 pace group. :p Maybe our paths will cross on the back half if you do the run/walk strategy. :)
