Did 2.6 miles outside (prob 2.3 running) with Cooper.  Was going to do the FSRC 5k but it was soooo windy outside, I bailed.  Did 3 miles walking on the treadmill later.

Somedays I swear my ankle is 100% healed (Saturday, when I ran 6 miles without any problem), other days I'm scared I'm back on track to another fracture (today, could feel it after 2 miles, so stopped).  Blah.  Sick of the roller coaster ride.

Walked 1 mile on the TM.  There was absolutely nothing on TV and I was so bored so I couldn't force myself to do anymore. I suck!

I almost totally forgot I went running this day!  After leaving work early, meeting a freind for happy hour, I still got home when it was still light out!  So I took Cooper out for a run.  Was aiming for 4, but it got dark (And I mean DARK) and starting raining at about the same time (and I didn't wear my hat!) so I called it good at 3.5.

Ran 5.5 miles, it was drizzly and kind of miserable.  Then I slipped on the metal grate at the intersection (pretty much the only time on my whole run when there was a car to witness my klutziness!) so he was probably laughing.  My hand and knee bled a little bit but mostly I was sad I ripped a hole in my good running tights!  Cooper was confused as I lay there on the ground, it was probably quite comical.  Was wearing good clothes for the run though, I was soaked by the end but only my toes felt cold, I need to come up with some better socks for wet weather running.

Splits: 10:12, 9:37, 9:27, 13:36 (at the dog park for this split?), 9:30

Actually the splits are all messed up in parts, I don't remember what I was doing!

Ran 1.35 down to the golf course, where I picked up Justin and we walked Cooper to the dog park and then walked home.

Ran 4 miles with Cooper down to the dog park and back.  My Garmin was acting up and didn't locate the satellites for the first 10 minutes and the splits are all weird so I have no clue about time or even if 4 miles is right!
