Run #58 - Easy 7 pushing toward recovery

Good evening everyone,

This post is from last Thursday evening. I had ensemble practice at church and did my run between work and practice. Typically my evening runs are not the best, but my goal was to get miles on my ankle and see if it would hold up.

When I got tot he YMCA at 4:30pm, it was 65 degrees and the rain had held off. I ran outside on the access road that the Y is on. It is a 3 mile loop from overpass to overpass. I ran at an easy pace (30-60 seconds over my marathon pace) and was able to maintain that pace for the extent of the run. My ankle felt pretty good. There was no pain and on the 2 occasions that my foot placement caused the ankle to almost buckle, it withstood the shock and did well.

We are headed to the Kentucky Horse Park on Saturday so I will get a good amount of walking in on my ankle. My plan is to try and get a 10 mile run in on Sunday and see how the ankle holds up.

Blog you soon,

Philippians 4:13
