Out early from home. Ran my river trails long run but just cut it off for only 15. Went into the run as my last test before next Sat to see where I'm really at with these nagging aches and pains. 7:01 avg for the run and that's about where I'm maxed at. Warmed up slow and then worked into a few faster miles up the trail hitting 3 at or under 6 min pace. A handful of others around 6:20. But by around 12 miles the stress on the ankle becomes almost overwhelming and I start to really struggle. So not too positive. I'm gonna go out and work my butt off next week and try to break 3hrs but it'll be really close and I'll be hurting big time. Then it's time for a big break from running. We're expecting child #2- making it public now. Decided a week ago that with Mik'L due at the end of April next spring that we wouldn't really use our boat much next summer. So I put it up for sale just to see what would happen... Sold it today. Kind of sad because I loved that thing but anytime you can pocket around $2,800 on the deal I say sell and you can always buy another one in the spring of 2014.
