The day was very nice - was 57 - 62 F in the morning. Very light breeze. Surprisingly, not many people on the road today. Perhaps a bit chilly for walkers. There was just one cyclist and one walker.
I ran at a lower speed and intensity - mostly stayed at moderately hard level of exertion, occasionally at hard level except the last mile which requires a hard level of effort. I ran paying attention to running form and foot strike, being mindful of impact shock. Just mindful, not worried. In the end, it felt very comfortable. I did sweat a lot as my overall pace wasn't much slower than usual - perhaps around 10-15 seconds per mile slower. The cold shower after the run felt really really good today. I'll be keeping ice on the ankle tonight. Also tomorrow, which is a rest day. That's all for now. Here's a joke I came across on the Internet.
Two hikers on a trail came around the bend to find an enormous brown bear about 75 yards up the trail. The bear spies them and begins running toward them at a full gallop. One hiker drops his backpack, sits down, throws off his boots, and starts lacing up a pair of running shoes. The other hiker says: “What are you doing? You will never outrun that bear!”. The first hiker replies: “I don’t have to outrun the bear…”.
Enjoy your day!
