Just tried to get it done. Ankle was sore to start but then tolerable after a few miles. Pace has really slowed which is kind of a bummer. My average pace was 9:22 with a total time of 58:30, I finished up with some upper body weights and some push-ups. Its a start.

See you tomorrow.

Ran in the riverbottoms and found a window befoer the next down pour came. Ankle stiff at the beginning but loosened up quicker and felt better as the run went on. My average pace was 9:01 with a total time of 36:59, I finished up with lower body weights and some push-ups. I'm glad I got something in today.

See you tomorrow.

I felt horrible this monring. I felt like I was going to faint on the way back, wobbly legs and just super weak. I've been fighting off a bug it seems the last 3 or 4 days. I felt decent yesterday but not today. I really don't know how I finished really. My average pace was super slow at 9:43 with a total time of 59:16, I was able to finish up with my upper body weights and some push-ups. I'm beat!

See you tomorrow.

Down to the riverbottoms and back. Legs and pce were a little than i expected which was a nice surprise. Ankle was achy but tolerable. My average pace was 9:02 with a total time of 1:58:28, I had a few many stops as it was super humid and I was just tired and drained. But I am glad I was able to go as far I did. Ankle is slowly improving.

See you Monday.
