Thinking that the morning would be warmer, I had planned to run up City Creek Canyon, but the thermometer read just 12 degrees at 6:30 am, so I ran the Bonneville Golf Course loop. The air was cold and sharp, but was entirely gunk-free!! The lack of gunk seems to have increased the circulation of oxygen, as I was able to run a fairly aggressive pace; alternating in the middle of the run with some fartlek, mixing sub 6min pace followed by 6:30pace. Still wary of my ankle issues, I busted out a new pair of shoes before running this morning, and put in my Sorbothane insoles, which are soft and offer moderate support (nothing close to the PowerStep). The new shoes seemed to make a difference, I didn't really feel the ankle for much of the run. But it's still talking to me. The discomfort has migrated up my foot a bit. I iced when I got home.
