Had a good run today. I was still feeling a bit sore from Saturday's run, it was rough for a while, but I ended up warming up and finishing the run feeling strong.

Today was a great run. It was my fast run for the week and I ended up doing 9 miles just under my GMP. I did it in my new shoes and they were great; so light! My times were a lot faster than I intended and try as I might I couldn't really reign myself in so I just went with it and really surprised myself. My average was just under 7:00 minutes for the whole 10 miles. The first mile was a warm up, so I hit the last 9 miles well under a 7:00 pace.

Today was a really encouraging day!

It was nice and rainy here this morning, so I didn't run into work but ran on the treadmill during our PT time for 7 miles. I did it in about 7:30 pace.

Later in the afternoon I finished with 2.5 miles in about the same pace. I think I am starting to get some little injury just above my right ankle. Some type of inflamation bugs me when I step. It seems to go away once I warm up, but I will ice it and keep some ACE Bandage on it.

Today's run was good. I put the ACE bandage on my leg to keep it compressed and it felt fine during the run. I think I am going to continue to need to use this for the next little while. I will try and ice it at night time as well. I tried to keep my pace a bit slower to make sure I don't injure it even more.
