Personal:

I'm married to Nan Kennard and she kicks my butt at running. She has beat me handily in every race we have done together except for a downhill mile we did once. She is my running inspiration. I'd like to run a marathon with her someday and actually keep up.

My ankle wasn't stiff anymore yesterday or this morning, and it felt fine running on it again, thankfully.

8 Miles - 1:10:40 - 8:50/mile - HR: 141 - Elevation: 630ft

I ran 4 miles out on the dry creek trail, downhill with a tailwind and was wondering why my HR was so low.

Then when I turned around and realized how stiff the headwind was on the uphill back toward home it all made perfect sense.

It felt great to get out and run for over an hour again.

***later

My ankle was pretty stiff after my run for the rest of the day, which was annoying. I will let it rest more this week.

Good miles for a monday. I'll be in my VFFs today. I'm not sure how much my ankle is going to like it, but i'll find out.

Thanks. My ankle was a lot more comfortable barefoot than it was when I wore shoes. But I think it was partially the shoes that caused the issue based on the fit and how it adjusted my stride and landing.
