| I was the only one to show up at the starting corner at 5:45am so I ran alone again. I felt like I wanted a few good tempo miles this morning, and the normal route wasn't appealing, so I decided to run the neighborhood 5K course. I didn't want to run all out, but a little faster than my goal marathon pace (7:38/mi = 3:20 finish time). After a half mile warmup over to the starting line, I ran the first (mostly downhill) mile at 7:01/mi, the next (flat) mile at 7:30/mi, and the final (mostly uphill) mile or so at 7:28/mi. I then ran another couple of easy miles (8:29/mi). | | Comments(3) |

| I can't believe it. Once again I stepped on a rock in the dark and rolled my ankle. I was putting in my two extra miles before meeting up with Larry. I had warmed up for a half mile and then had run about another half mile at about a 7:45 pace. There was no moon and it was pretty dark between the street lights. I was cruising along thinking happy thoughts when I suddenly felt the pain. I tried to walk it off. I was able to put weight on it, and even managed to jog part of the way back home, but I could tell I was going to have to take a day or two off. | | Add Comment |

| I was going to try running on my ankle this morning but the only person at the corner was Lee, heading out for a walk. He said he had heard the guys were running 20 miles Friday morning instead of Saturday, due to conflicts, so they weren't running this morning. I decided to give my ankle another day. | | Add Comment |

| The guys ran the 20 miler from Trefoil to the lake this morning. I love that run, but decided to give my ankle one more day. | | Add Comment |

| I ran alone from Vivian Park up to the Trefoil gate at the top of South Fork. I averaged 9:24/mi for the 1.6 miles up to the park, and 8:52/mi for the 2.7 miles up to the gate. Coming back down I averaged 7:29/mi for the 2.7 miles to the park, and 7:07/mi for the 1.6 miles back to Vivian Park. I averaged 8:13/mi overall for the 8.6 miles. My ankle felt good. Even my left knee that had been bothering me for a couple of weeks felt better. It was a great run. | | Add Comment |
