DC loop here with Dave. Super temps this morning dropping to 64 F for the over night low. No matter how trashed you feel cool temps always help. Just conversational pace and ended the loop at a 6:58 avg. Feeling kind of achy all over and the ankle was and is sore. Wore a small brace today but it didn't seem to help. I'm guessing over the next few weeks I'm just going to have to get tough because this might be as good as it gets. We saw a skunk in B-hills at about mile 5.5 it crossed the road right in front of us and we slowed to avoid a spray. 

7 more miles a hour or so later. Mik'L did her run and I worked in the garden for an hour. Then once she got home at around 8 a.m I decided to try another run. B-hills loop extended through the secret street. Tried to do a few fartlek pick-ups throughout the run just to see how any faster pace felt. The verdict- not great. At about 6:15 pace I reach my pain threshold. Efficient form is out the door. So other muscles and bones hurt because of the compensation of the right side.  Hit miles of 6:38, 6:30, 6:18 and I was dragging by the end. 6:55 avg for this run.

You're still putting up pretty big miles despite the injury. 'Hope to see you all healed up quickly. Hang in there.

Thanks man. After 7 years of marathon running. Doing mileage is the only thing I know how to do... good or bad? right or wrong I just like to run.
