AM 3 X on the Minuteman 5K course.  1- 26:18, 2 - 24:25, 3- 21:22.  The 3rd one had an avg pace of 6:51.  It was windy today which did help cool things a bit, but a late start still gave me temps in the 90's.  Cool down to round it off at 10 miles.

AM 8.5 miles with the XC team.  We ran from SHP to the Shriners drinking fountain and back.  Not real fast but going out is all uphill.  avg pace for the whole run was 7:47 pace.  Ankle is giving me big trouble right now and I need to get it under control so I can continue training.

AM XC team workout 6 miles.  We did the rock run up dry creek from the JCC.  I have the team each carry two rocks about the size of a baseball to the overlook pass and add to our pile.  This was the first time for the season and our old pile from last year is still there, but smaller.  We will add to our pile again this year.  Ankle was still sore decided I really wanted to run no matter how slow so I took some vitamin IB to help me through it.  I know it can slow sown the healinng process, but not running can slow down the overall fittness process.

PM Wasatch Athletics workout 8 miles with 10 X 1 minute.  Ankle got progressively more sensitive as the run went on and is swollen tonight after the workout.

AM 4 miles with the XC team.  I did the warm up and cool down.  Need to back off the ankle is not getting better.  I don't want to run on IB, it can slow down the healing process.

No run today but I biked on the JRT with the team we did 8 miles.  I would count this in my mileage but why?  Letting the ankle rest.  Had an Xray today to rule out a stress fracture.  The doc thought it was bone, but nothing showed on the film.  He wants to reevalute it on Monday.

No run just cooked Dutch Oven breakfast for the team.  Need to rest the ankle.

AM 1 mile morning shake out run at 5:00 to lossen up a little and test the ankle.  Came home and showered and some light stretching before heading to the race in Draper. 

2 mile warm up then the race.  1st mile 5:35 at mile 2 11:32  finish 18:22  Was ahead of the splits from Draper Days until 2 3/4 but the wheels came off when I wanted to push.  Finished 18 seconds slower than Draper.  Bill Green beat me to the line.  He is a good runner that has been battling injury and will be fully healthy soon.  Ran a 5 mile cool down with Thatcher and some of the team.

PM 4 Miles at the JRT about 9:00 pm at 8 minute pace.  Ankle a little sore.
