1st day back from IR. 7.1 miler today that went fairly well. I felt no recurring pains on the ankle, but I think more telling than the single run will be how I feel at the end of the week. The goal is to keep my runs between 7 and 9 miles and the pace no faster than 7:30s average. Todays run was 54:01 (7:36s). Out in 27:04 (7:37s) and back in 26:57 (7:35s). I'm pleased with the even tempo throughout the run.

Welcome back! Hope the ankle is kind to you.

Keep taking it easy- run on some of those soft golf courses you have spent some good time on this past week and avoid concrete. Hopefully it is all good from here on.
