8.4 miles easy in 1:16:00/9:03 pace. I know my plan was to only go 6 or 7 miles a day easy this week but after the 6.4 loop I felt so good and was enjoying the snowy ground so much I didn't want to stop, so I did two more miles up and down through town--I did keep the pace easy though! I did not push the pace and kept very comfortable the whole time. Ankle felt fantastic! It is not 100% but there is definite, noticeable improvement. I took out the orthotics and instead put in the little gel heel things and I was actually much more comfortable. No more orthotics. They give great support for my high arch but I think I am rolling off them too far on the outsides of my feet and they are making me underpronate even more severely than I already do naturally. Anyways the temperature was 29 degrees with no wind when I started, and had warmed a few degrees by the time I was done. The varying footing made the run interesting. I would go from packed snow to soft snow to slick flat ice to crunch bubbly ice, etc...It kept me occupied and was actually kind of fun! Did some gentle stretching and then a 10 minute ice bath for feet and ankles. Topped of the morning with a HUGE breakfast of cubed potatoes, an over-easy egg, and pancakes with peanut butter and syrup(I was conservative on the syrup but put the peanut butter on thick--I love peanut butter) |
