It has been much cooler and low humidity the past few days after some super miserably hot weather. My legs felt great today. No pain in the left foot or the right knee. Total time for 3.2 miles was 24:44 (7:44/mile).

Elementary school loop in 22:24 (7:28/mile). My legs felt good until about the last half mile when I felt a sharp pain in my left ankle and leg. It felt like the same thing I have been struggling with. I though I was good after running most of the time without any pain.
