DId the tempo the team did on monday, but did it twice. On the bike. My anlke is feeling much better and should be around 80% for westlake. Even with it hurting, I should be able to PR by at least 30 seconds. I've figured it will take close to 2 months to get back to 100%, which is right before footlocker. I want to go, but i don't think I will. It sounds super fun, but the main point is the race and I would be super out of shape for it.

Go to Foot Locker, use it as your reward or motivation to rehab and come back even stronger by then. You have enough time to heal and if you do it right could come out of a pool running routine even faster and stronger. Set high goals and go after them. Do not give yourself excuses, find the solutions.

Trust me, you want to go to Footlocker.
