Ran to the LPT to get in a few quickish miles. Poor planning on my part meant I ran 3 of the 4 tempo paced miles into the wind. I was really struggling to hold 6:45/mile pace. I stopped at each mile marker for a short break because I was struggling so much. Spent the entire run trying to figure out why it was taking so much effort. Running the last mile with the wind made me realize how much the headwind had affected my pace. With less of an effort, I was able to run the last mile in 6:30. That was more in line with what I was expecting.
The pain in my right ankle is getting worse. This may be something more than just joint soreness.
