I ran Lake View with Tom and Will at noon. We actually managed to keep the pace from getting too fast. I think we averaged around 8:18/mi. I was trying to save some energy for the annual men vs. young men basketball game. A lot of good that did. They toasted us. We played them close the second half, but the damage was already done. Speaking of damage, I've decided to turn an ankle at least once a week. I took care of this week's ankle roll during the game. I think that's three weeks in a row now, once on a rock, once on the edge of some bad asphalt, and once getting bumped around playing basketball. I was wearing high tops and an ankle support so it wasn't too serious. I sat out the rest of the game, but I think I'll be able to run on it okay. At first I questioned whether I should have played, but then a quote from the movie "Strictly Ballroom" came to my mind: "Vivir con miedo es como vivir a medias" or "To live with fear is to live a life half-lived". (If you haven't seen the move, I recommend you see it.)
