Today's run went pretty well. I didn't have that great desire to walk for a change. I took it out  a little harder than I'd intended, but the average page was just about right where I wanted it considering I have a long run tomorrow. While McCarty Hill didn't seem like a piece of cake, it wasn't all that bad. One of these days, I want to do some repeats up it. Not quick ones necessarily, just several.

My ankle is still bothering me some, but in a different way. It's not puffy anymore and doesn't ache along that outside bone, but it does ache toward the back (but not like it would were my Achilles sore). It's difficult to fully point my toes/foot.

Total distance for the past 7 days (not counting warm up/cool down walks): 31.04.
