Not a great run.  Got about 1 mile when I tweaked my ankle after landing awkwardly.  Decided to just head home as I was a little shaken up.  I'll run on Friday to make up.

WILKE!!!! Warm up then 7 x up the hills, 3 backwards, and 3 sprints followed by a cool down all the way ot the gym.  Legs feel a bit like jelly right now.  Oh well...it will do me good...right?!?!

Solid run today.  Hot and humid as ever so I decided to start out easy, and see what I had left in my legs in the last few miles.  I felt good, and the last 8 miles were all sub-8 minute, and then the last 5 were all 7:30 or quicker.  Legs felt good, and could have gone faster, but didn't want to overheat, which has been a problem n my long runs of late!

 Average pace was 8:08 min/miles.  

 Next Saturday I'll try to pick up the pace, and try to sneak inside 8 min/mile for my average pace.
