Total Distance
2.27

Okay, first mileage in nearly a month as I see how the gout-ridden heel has recovered. Doesn't help that I twisted my ankle backstage on Saturday afternoon.

Limited myself to 30 minutes on the treadmill at a nice slow pace. Managed to cover about 2.27 miles. Ankle is a little tweaked but I shall see where I am tomorrow and will try to get more mileage built up.

Better some than none! Glad you've gotten your multiple ailments sorted out and managed.....for now.
