Played and walked about 13/14 holes of golf on the most beautiful Seattle day!  It was seriously gorgeous, like an April lovely spring day, not a day in the middle of terrible rain storms in January!  

I think I'm taking a running break for awhile, until maybe my ankle is healed.  Sad.  I'll try not to get too depressed about it.

That's right, 2 miles today, outside with Cooper!  :-)  My Dr called earlier and SHOCKINGLY said she thinks I am healed, my xray and bone scan looked fine!  She said there is still some remodeling going on which might be why its achey, or it could be soft tissue that I need to strengthen, which I'm going to work on.  So she got me an ankle brace (which I wore and it feels so good and supportive, though chafing is a minor problem) and I'm going to go to a few physical therapy sessions to learn strengthening exercises and such.  I am ECSTATIC! Can you tell? :-)

Later I was in such a good mood we went and played tennis for the first time in forever.  I was terrible, and am going to be SO sore tomorrow in the weirdest places, like my pinky finger and the weird muscle in my hand and probably my shoulders.  

YAY!

Wonderful run with Lisa and Anya, its soooooo good to be running!  The ankle brace, although a chafer, is wonderful in terms of support.  I should have had that thing this whole time for sure.

 3.5 miles, up a HUGE hill (thanks Lisa!), I'll have to upload the Garmin data later just to see what the elevation change was.  It was rough.  

Garmin Update - Splits: 13:12 (the HUGE hill where we walked at the top), 10:53, 10:32, 10:23 (0.5)

Average pace: 11:22

That hill was 400 feet!  Total ascent 572.
