10 miles running Porter Rockwell/Draper Canal trails on a 1 min/1 min alternation. First 3 with Leslie. Then 2 miles walking the dog. During the dog walk I figured out I sprained my ankle last Sunday - so am icing and bracing and will take tomorrow as a rest day.

great run - that's a lot of miles on a sprained ankle! hope it heals up quickly.

Thanks, Allie. The first 10 it only felt a little off. The two miles walking were pretty bad - which is when common sense hit.

When is your next race?

It sounds like you already know what you're doing. Good luck! :-)

well, you certainly have a high tolerance for pain. 10 miles!(not to mention 40+ miles this week). you are tough.

next race for me is UV half next weekend.
