Five miles tempo run followed by quarter mile cool-down.  One more appointment with my chiropractor. He has turned me loose but recommends I quit waiting until I am seriously injured to stop in for an adjustment.

Ran 5 miles after work using the HRM at 70-80%.  Did a few sets of intervals to shake the lead out of the legs in the last couple of miles.  Last .7 as a cooldown. Picked up the muttso and was walking her when I interrupted Steve A's run and had a nice visit with him.  Everything from pets to work to training. Ankle is feeling good again.

1 hour upper body weight training.

 5.25 miles on the treadmill.  Worked on shaking up the legs and trying to get a little speed back (at least my idea of speed).  After the warmup I went through several repetitions where I would kick the speed up between 6.0 and 6.5 mph and drop the speed .1 mph every minute or 30 seconds.  Felt good to push again.

Went out and did 12 miles on the Draper Trails this morning.  First 10 miles keeping my HR between 70-80% (did the hilliest route first).  Last 2 miles alternated running 200 steps walking 100 steps as a cooldown. Endurance is coming back.
