I had a hard time getting out every day this week, so all my runs were when the Sun was going down. This one was the latest of all. I got out late for various reasons, but it was discouraging to have built up to some decent mileage only to have my legs hurting. My ankle/arch felt much better today. My right knee was hurting more, but it did loosen up nicely. Time was 19:31 (7:50/mile) for 2.5 miles.
