5k training week 6 pt 1

I supposedly have a race 8/7 in Millenium Park. I've been training a *lot*, I'm sore and hungry all the time, but I can feel that it's getting easier. I did my 4 mile run on Saturday - my route was south on Lake Shore, past Belmont and back. I was able to run this without stopping for a long time and I wasn't that winded. I did feel a lot of soreness in my calves and ankles the next day however. I will be repeating week 6 training for the next 2 weeks, then resume the scheduled training. Holiday weekend, my diet was horrible as I was eating a lot of barbecue type goodies. I'll be going back to my regular diet of organic greens and such this week.
