Welcome to my training blog. I've been posting my mileage and thought here as I participate in a marathon training program that started in June and takes me right up to the marathon: through 18 weeks, 435 miles, and countless Calories. Check back whenever you're interested to know more about my training milestones and challenges!

I've partnered with Center for Independent Futures, a non-profit organization which offers progressive programming aimed at giving individuals with disabilities access to the skills and opportunities to realize a full life. Please help support my fundraising and donate to CIF.

If you're still feeling flush after helping me reach my fundraising goal, there are a few things I could use myself for my running. Here's my wishlist.

Ouch

Today, right as I started out on a five mile run, I rolled my left ankle. I definitely have a history of doing this; it's never really a huge deal (in high school my coach just told me I had loose ankles). This time kinda hurt, though. I finished my run on it (51 minutes), and I felt basically normal for the whole run, but as soon as I stopped the pain came back. It's a little swollen, too, although my ankles have been swollen for months.

Uh oh.
