First time running in over a week. I tweeked my ankle some how on the hike last week, so I've been taking it easy so as to not re-aggravate it. It felt good yesterday, and I wanted to go running, but my kids' AIMS testing threw my schedule off. So I went on a nice easy 2 mile run this morning to run at my HM pace. I'm thinking I should shoot for 8:15's. My ankle felt a little tweeky at first, but after the first mile it felt good. Time - 16:28.

Good luck Burt ... I hope the wind dies down for tomorrow (or that the canyon shields you a little)!

From Burt on Fri, Apr 03, 2009 at 12:34:39 from 68.76.197.194

What are you talking about? There are no canyons in Lake Havasu. Are there?

From Bonnie on Fri, Apr 03, 2009 at 12:48:53 from 71.210.121.51

my bad ... you would know better than me, for some reason when I was thinking about driving up there I thought I read "canyon" somewhere ... I probably got it mixed up with "canyonlands" that Carolyn in Colorado was running (old age does that to a woman). ;-). Regardless, I hope the winds die down for you!

From Burt on Fri, Apr 03, 2009 at 12:55:13 from 68.76.197.194

Old age? You don't run like you're old. The wind here is fine. I don't know about Havasu. I should ask Rhett.

I think you can do 8:15 easy. EASY

Cute pictures yesterday, BTW.

8:18's, but it wasn't easy.

From Bonnie on Sun, Apr 05, 2009 at 18:26:45 from 71.210.121.51

Burt, you are a slacker ... where is your race report? Cute family schmamily (not really) - but don't forget us out here in the bloggosphere.

I hope you did well and are recovering nicely.
