I'm from good ol' Hurricane, UT, but I currently live in Glendale, AZ where I am attending medical school at Midwestern University.  I am married with 1 kid at the moment.  I love to run, and despise treadmills, but here they are currently a necessity.

Today after a few days off, I couldn't take it any longer.  I had to get out running. I'm afraid that if I don't keep going my ankle is going to continue to get stiffer and more painful.  It always feels better after a run and gets worse after a few days off of it.

 Today was a big run though.  Today I eclipsed 400 miles this year. I'm pretty proud of that.

So the plan today was to run 8 miles, but I got attacked by a bathroom demon about mile 5 1/2, so I decided to pull out early and head for the house.  It was a great run today.  My ankle is still feeling good, but I definitely didn't fuel properly.  I've been feeling sick ever since I got home.  Hopefully that will go away soon.

Today's run was awesome.  I ran east on Center Street for quite a ways.  I was planning to go up Riverside drive, but instead decided to tackle the big hill on Center.  It was super tough, but the view at the top is totally worth the work.  It was awesome to see the mountains in the distance framing the Temple.  Great run.  

Injury report.  Ankle is still doing fine as long as I keep it working.  I'm planning on doing my 16 mile long run on Saturday.  I'm gonna get my wife to drive a support car just in case I have issues on the run.

Today's run was supposed to be 16 miles, but I ran out of gas before I got all the way back.  I tried the Gu, but I honestly didn't notice any difference.  I think I would be better off with just Gatorade.  If anyone has any opinions on this, I would like to hear them.  

The run was pretty good though.  Time wasn't amazing, I ran in about 2 hours 10 minutes, but that was due to a lot of walking the last mile or so.  I gave it everything until every muscle in my body had tightened up.

 One cool thing, today marks the first time I have put in over 26.2 miles in a week.  It is also the highest week I have ever had.  It's been pretty good overall.
