90 Degrees at 5pm tonight. Quite hot so I took it very easy. Actually had some inflamation along the outside of my right foot above the ankle. Probably a touch of overuse injury from the high mileage week last week. Will take it easy with both miles and pace this week. Splits on the 9.06 in 1:11:51 (7:55s) as follows:

8:15, 7:53, 7:41, 7:51, 8:03, 8:08, 8:01, 7:48, 7:37, :29 (.06 -- 8:11s)

Ankle is definitely inflamed. Might ride the recline bike after work tonight if I have time. Iced the ankle twice today. Will do 2 or 3 times tomorrow and continue to postpone running until the inflamation goes away.

More rest and icing today. Swelling seems to be going down. Muscle nearby may be a bit tight, so I will do some stretching later.

3:30pm and 77 degrees. Modest humidity, actually a fairly decent day for June day in St Louis. Tested the ankle and everything felt fine today. 4 mile out and back for a total of 8. 2 mile warm-up, 4 mile pick-up, 2 mile cool down. Running time 59:58 (7:30s). Splits as follows: 7:37, 7:27, 7:16, 7:18, 7:08, 6:46, 8:06, 8:16. Left quad was a little tight at the end, but nothing major considering it was my first day running in 4 days.

Ran to the Running Center today and tried on 2 pairs of shoes. Ran about .2 miles in the shoes. Then ran home. Total today was only 6.5, but that was enough for now. Splits as follows:

8:09, 7:41, 7:27, 7:26, 7:31, 7:31, 2:25 (.3 -- 8:03s) + .2 at the store.
