Ate and slept well last night.

Training plan called for 20 miles today to continue testing the healed ankle and strengthened ligaments. I made this into a long 20 miler to have the support of aid stations, fellow runners and crowd. Thanks be to Kiera https://www.strava.com/athletes/17632882 for some useful info about the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon 

W/U was chatting with Steven Story https://www.strava.com/athletes/42686784 and other fellow participants in the cozy confines of Grafton High School. Chatted with Paige https://www.strava.com/athletes/57508055 and Kristin https://www.strava.com/athletes/2309799 just before the start - those two were part of the official pacing team!

The race started on time, and I started slow and easy. Ran the first 10k behind/with Paige in the 4:00 hour team. Saw/Chatted with Katie on the course (she was volunteering!). Good conversations. Kept the splits fairly consistent through 16 miles. Felt like I got what I needed out of the run to test the healing. With the way 17th mile turned out, didn't feel the need to push through and cause a setback. Gigi saw me on the course and graciously offered a ride back to the finish area.

W/D was walking the finish line area to pick up the bag, chat with Anand https://www.strava.com/athletes/18697008 and few others, and walking back to the car. Good outing. No pain before, during or after the run in the previously injured area. Very grateful for health, friends (in and out of the medical arena) and progress.
