Did a trail run at an easy 9:40/mi pace.  Drank a little too much dark beer the night before and had a headache and felt dehydrated when I woke up.  I felt great on the run though, the cool weather really helped.  I also had plenty of water and cytomax in my fuel belt to keep me well hydrated.

Biked for 60min

Ran 12.12 mi on a trail right after the bike at about a 9:40/mi pace.  My pace vaired with hills and amount of soft sand.  My left ankle started poping constantly, it doesn't hurt but could over time.  I sprained it pretty bad last year and read online that it could have affected a tendon in my ankle.  Since I am about to do an ironman and then start training for a 50mi beach run, I need to start doing strengthing exercises and take glucosamine.  I'll see if this works.  Other than that, the bike/run went well.  I was extremely tired when I got home and fell asleep on my floor for 2 hrs.  Usually floor naps prevent me from sleeping for more than 30min due to my arm or leg going numb and waking me up, but not today.  I could have slept through an earthquake, or more appropriate for florida a hurricane.
