AM - My wife slept in through her 5am fitness boot camp thing so I had a rare unplanned opportunity to run.  I got up and there was no pain in the ankle at all so I did what any over-eager newbie would do and put on my shoes for a run.  I felt it a little on the first couple of miles (pain was a 1 on a scale from 0-10) but then it went away completely.  Finished the 4.0 mile run with an 8:34 overall pace.  Iced the ankle and it still feels good.  So weird.  Maybe I'm stepping on it weird or there's some kind of problem with my form on the days when it hurts.

PM - Ok, another 4 miles.  Ankle started out about a 2-2.5 out of 10 then went to a 1 after a mile, and completely painless by three miles.  I made it an up-tempo run (8:00-8:05 pace for the first three miles).  Then I threw in a 3:20 half mile followed by a half-mile recovery. 7:54 overall pace for the entire 4.  The legs just wanted to go tonight so I let them.  Iced the ankle and it's doing fine.

Well, the no pain is encouraging.

Sorry about your ankle. I have no explanation either for most of the stuff that happens to me, but I have noticed that different speeds make different pains appear or disappear -- sometimes I have more going on a slow speeds than on faster days. Good luck.

Burt - yeah I'll definitely take what I can get. I'm even considering a P.M. run when the kids go to bed since it feels good.

Flat - thanks - when it does act up it starts even when I hit fast walking speed. It's funny all the little pains and stuff that come and go.

Hmm well at least it ends up not hurting. I have noticed for some aches and pains running faster actually makes the pain go away(like when my IT band acts up)--weird. My theory is that when I run faster I automatically use better form. Anyways nice runs and nice 1/2 mile pickup--you got some speed in those legs!
