Ankles....

I waited until Wednesday (well...actually 4am Thursday morning) to try running on my ankle.  I had done some walking and my usual Wednesday cross training routine, and had it lasered (I love low powered laser therapy and highly recommend it!)  I worked late Wednesday night (7pm to 3:30am) and rather than try to snooze for an hour or two to be back to work at 6, I went for a run in the streets of Everett; 5.39 miles according to mapmyrun.  Started out slow and picked up as I warmed up. Even did some 1 block hill repeats on some fairly steep sections in the Port Gardner area.  Other than my right lower leg feeling heavy I had no real problems.   My leg has felt like that off and on since I mangled it (just a little...) in a motorcycle accident in 1972 so I don't attribute that to what happened last Saturday.  I plan on going out for 11 tomorrow morning so hopefully all is well.  I REALLY need to get 3 or 4 good long runs in before the Poulsbo marathon October 16!
