Slow & Steady Wins the Race :-)

9 holes of golfing today, it was horrific.  Had a temper tantrum with golf (we broke up) during holes 5 and 6.  Then of course got a par on hole 9 (isn't that how it always works?) to renew our relationship.

Did 30 minutes on the recumbent bike in the basement, after 15 minutes and the end did squats, sit-ups, etc.  Ankle still weird.  

Ankle still weird.  Its the not knowing that's killing me.

Down to the dog park, 2 loops, and back.  Did a little extra to hit 60 minutes exactly.  

TT: 1:00:01  AP: 9:49

Splits: 10:28, 9:41, 9:43, 9:30, 9:29, 10:04 (ran up Hillside today)

Then did some strength stuff and then 30 minutes on the recumbent bike while I read my book.  Actually READING a book, I can't remember the last I did that with a book that wasn't about statistics/education. 

Loops around the neighborhood with Justin AND Cooper!  How nice it is to be home. 

17.91 miles (caught up to Anya at this and called it good for 18!) at Cedar River trail with Anya and the group she's been running with.  Started at 7:30am but it was already very toasty by the end (probably around 85 already by 10).  

My ankle felt pretty good, except around mile 15.  Its weird.  On the one hand, it doesn't seem like it would be bothering me for so long if its not something to worry about.  On the other hand, I just ran 18 miles and am fine.  Wish it would just hurry up and resolve itself.  

TT: 2:44::37    AP: 9:11

Splits: 8:59, 8:48, 9:11, 9:13, 9:27, 9:13, 9:23, 8:57, 8:52, 9:22, 9:12, 9:45, 10:22, 9:04, 8:54, 8:48, 8:53, 9:03

I was sooo stiff at the end of this, especially my calves and hamstrings. 

What a great week/weekend already.  I miss being home.  Saw 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (SEE IT!), went golfing, slip n slided, and camped in the backyard!
