3-2-1 with 3:00/2:00 rests + 4 x 30s fast.
A front blew through overnight and cooled things down. Steady rain through the run, though thankfully any lightning was a ways off. Low winds.

I felt sluggish to start, and my shoes weren't getting good traction on the wet pavement. I focused on quickening my cadence and relaxing after the 3 mile segment, and the pace dropped without much effort.
I've had a couple of sharp twinges on the outside of my left ankle the last couple days. Not while running. Both times it's happened while sitting down, but I can't make it hurt if I try to repeat the motion. Just noting it in case I see any development. Planning to do some peroneal tendon stretches and ice the area tonight.
