Wasn't that wind today fun to run in? LOL

Ran after work and ran into the wind first so I would have it at my back.

Avg: 11:26 12:07/12:43/11:21/11:34/11:23/10:53/10:36/10:49 (D'ya think I got a negative split?)

I was a little worried because I slipped off a stair last night and twisted my right ankle. But, I immediately iced it and took some vitamin I and it is feeling fine today.

Went to the gym after dinner and did chest and back weights. I was talking with one of the trainers and explained about my lower abs hurting when I cough after running for a while. He had me do some exercises and thinks that I might have a tear or an early stage hernia and thinks I need to get it checked out. Grrrrrr.

Walked the puppy for 1/4 mile tonight. Right now the leaves blowing about are terrifying her - so it is walk 2 steps, shake, get encouragement, repeat....... I bought a dog gate tonight and set up my kitchen so she has that whole area to play in all day instead of a 4 foot by 4 foot cage. I don't know if she likes it - she is afraid to go through the gate right now.

I got out before the wind got really bad. That being said I did have to run three of the miles into the wind, which was pretty tough. Glad I didn't have to do it this afternoon.
