Braced up the ankle again.  Walked 1/2 mile, alternated run/walk for another half mile, ran 1/2 mile, alternated run/walk for another half mile, ran 1/2 mile, walked 1/2 mile cooldown.  It felt good to be running again.

Went to the gym and did 40 minutes on the stationary bike.  If I got my heart rate up too high, the thumb would start to throb (I sliced off a good chunk of my right thumb on Easter).

2.0 miles walking with the dog and a game of HORSE with my son (I beat him even with a bum thumb and ankle). More later.
