Hooked up with Amy and Josh S. for a run from the Avenues up into City Creek. Nice run, especially because the sun wasn't yet blazing down.  Drove up to Steiner afterward and swam 550m. I'm sure I will continue to make real swimmers wince for a long time to come, but I am getting slightly better. 

 The ankle is doing better too. Not healed, by any means, but less troublesome overall.  I've been fairly consistent with stretching and strengthening exercises.  Also, I've switched back to running in the Kayano for nearly all of my easy runs, and back to the PowerStep insole. (I had been running in the lighter DS Trainers a lot, with stock insole). Also, the I think the wobble board has helped as well. I can't say swimming has helped improve the ankle, but it's given me something to do in place of getting in all the miles I would like to run.

I'm glad to hear that your ankle is feeling better. I bet the swimming is helping your overall fitness a lot. Cross-training really helped keep me injury free in the off seasons during college. See you out there. No speed workouts for me until the grant is done but I'll be around SH in the AM.
