Three weeks later, my ankle is still giving me grief. It is my own fault. Just as it starts to feel good again, I push it and run. Then I’m back to square one. I’m finally attempting to have a doctor look at it by requesting an appointment at a place called The Running Institute

i was going to leave some encouraging, poignant comment, and then i got to the part about the person in the gorilla costume.

Pretty hilarious, huh? The funny thing is that I THINK I either read something or watched something about a marathon in which people ran dressed as gorillas. Or maybe I dreamed that I read it...

Either way, that little tidbit apparently got embedded in my subconscious.

Or maybe it was the costumes we were eyeballing at Target!

Don't worry about pace. Just run until you can keep doing it for a long period of time. This pacing thing is only on my mind because I HAVE to maintain a 16 minute mile for the duration of the run, which sounds generous until I get to, oh, the 7th mile...

I'm using Nike+ GPS. It's not free. I think it's $1.99, but they have different "courses" you can time. For me, I primarily use the distance running, which will measure my distance with voice cues. But you can do time trials as well.
