Best run so far, with three weeks to go for Chicago Marathon. I did 22 hilly miles at 7:39 average without really exerting myself. This was a huge confidence builder.

Started my recovery run. 1 miles in something in my back caused immense pain. caused me to collapse. I cannot hardly take a deep breath. I think it might be a dislodged rib. I have dislocated my rib before and it always goes back and feels fine. I was going to make today a good strength day, instead taking a full day of recovery. Mentally, it is a bummer but i know it is something that I have to do.

18 great miles - took it easy and just ran for pure distance - legs were moving faster than i expected and asked - 7:39 average. I feel good about my opportunity on Oct. 12 - i want to be able to do my best effort that day and this is really my last long run.
