Two days in a row.  Sweet.  Things felt better than yesterday but that might have to with the ibuprofen I took before this run.  I haven't run two consecutive days for quite a while and I'm not much more sore than with an extra day's rest.  I am still walking a minute every mile or so and that is frustrating but I can tell it helps giving my ankle some rest periodically.  I may try cutting down on some of the walks next week depending on how I feel.

I ran down into Saratoga Springs again and the sun setting in the west lit up Timpanogos in the east with a bright pink color.  It was quite a sight looking at it across the lake.  I'm glad the days are getting longer.  The sun would have already been down for this run a month ago.  Still the sun was set for the second half of this run and all the wet spots on the trail froze.  I had to slow down and tread lightly here and there.

Ibuprofen before running. Got it.

Good to hear the ankle seems to be getting better!

Great news on being on the upswing. Be careful with IB before a run - it can really do some nasty damage to your stomach, especially while running. Occasionally is fine, but I wouldn't do it consistently.
