Good Long Run
For a few seconds I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it. About 15 minutes into my run, I twisted my left ankle on a rare root on the Burke Lake Park trail. Yah, I heard it crunch real good. After shaking it out for a minute, I decided to keep going and see how it felt. For a lot of the run, I was really missing my running partners...the chatter, unspoken teamwork, and the cadence of someone else's footsteps with mine. They've moved or are preoccupied with other things these days, so I train alone for now until I feel confident enough again about my speed to go back to my club. Thankfully, I ended up having a strong hour and 35 minute run, with the cool yet humid air and no other incidents. I would have liked to have gone longer, but R. and I needed to leave for VA Beach to see my dad before he goes overseas again.
All in all, today was a great day. My ankle's a bit sore, but I'll keep icing and massaging it. Oh yes, and another reason to be positive...outside of the wedding, this is my first Saturday AND Sunday off from work in a long, long time. Whoo hoo!

I miss my running partner, too. (I am going to send you an email shortly!)
