     Wow, you look like you're hurting bad. I don't know how you made it all 26.2 miles, man. Nice job for gutting it out.

      You're looking great for Chicago Phil. You were running awesome before the injury and I'm sure you'll do great. I won't tell you my prediction for Chicago, but I will tell you I have you under 3 hours. If you were healthy I'd have you around 2:40. Hopefully that ankle will hold up for you and if it does, I am confident you can run sub 3 if you decide to.

    ankle felt ok, most of the pain was in the shin, took it easy about 7:30 to 8ish pace, had to stop 2 or 3 times to stretch the rt leg and ankle, Chicago is about 50/50 rt now, will decide on Sunday when I do a 20 mile run, it will have to be a major problem for me not to run/walk in Chicago, been waiting ALL year for this race and its going to take ALOT for me not to go
