Noon - about 5. ankle continued to bug me after wednesday's run, but i said i'd play coach and give my basketball-focused homeboy a workout to get him some aerobic fitness(8 x 400 w/ 200m rec). the first 4 he was dropping off pace each repeat, so i offered to pace him for the first 200m of #5; did that in like 41(he'd been averaging like 92 up to that point). i was surprised my ankle felt better after it, so i told him i'd run his last 3 and just to stick on me. ran 85, 80, and 75 with him in tow on every repeat, so i'm proud of him. didn't put in much effort on my part, but somehow my ankle just felt better on every 400 until it felt completely normal on the last one, and about 90 minutes later it still feels fine. weird. not gonna run again today, but that's a huge boon if by some miracle jumping into his workout cleared up the tendonitis.
