PM: 5 miles
I quite enjoyed today's run. Went out in search of some hills, so I just started running towards the mountain. The goal today was to run 5 miles in under 40 min and thankfully I was able to. Ended up finding some good hills to run up for a bit and man...my body was not ready for those haha. My pace dropped significantly while in the hills, but that's okay for now. It felt good to feel the burn while running up the hills. My ankle felt great the entire time as well. The only time it bothered me was starting out, but once I got in my rhythm then it was totally fine. Right before my last mile, I got stopped by a stoplight though which was a bit frustrating, but I was able to still finish strong. Averaged 7:42 per mile.
I've got a date tonight, so I might not be able to get in an evening walk, but I'll try. It might just have to be a quick one, but I'll for sure do some stretching and strengthening exercises.
