I ran 1.6 miles with my oldest along 9th street and then headed out along the trail for another 4.3 miles on my power station course. It felt okay. My left ankle has been acting up, and my knees have been a little sore too. They usually loosen up just fine though.

I did about 1.9 miles with my oldest and then added 1.6 more on my own. I have run some over the past two weeks, but my ankle and knee have been bothering me some. It felt a little better today.

It has been hit and miss over the past couple weeks. My legs and ankle have felt better with the lower mileage. They actually have felt fine.
