Felt better than yesterday. Even went sub 8 for mile 3. All miles on the track, I'm going to stay in the track tomorrow and probably for most of Saturday and Sunday as well just to be safe. I think I'll do one more day in the brace and then Saturday I'll try running with tape.

I'm think I'll at least jog the Des News 10k so that's exciting. Planning to just go by feel for all my runs until my ankle 100%, I'll start throwing in strides once it doesn't feel weak in the back of my ankle- which might just be once I take off the brace. I can't tell.

PM:

10 minutes rowing at 110 hr

32 minutes biking at 135 hr

Think I'll take tomorrow off from cross training and only do my run. I also did a 30 minute contrast therapy thing for my ankles after cross training. 10 mins hot water in a bath, 1-2 minutes cold water, and then 3x switching off between 4-5 minutes hot and 1 minute cold. Actually felt amazing and left my legs feeling incredibly smooth. Gonna try doing a full body version of this some day.
