Hesitant to run on a questionable ankle; however, running in a single plane was not an issue. Focused on turnover on the return trip. This time around my HR increased a bit with no real speed gain. Will need to re-work my running form if this keeps up.

28:04 out @142 avr HR
28:37 back @150 avr HR

Magnolia Hills - hills with Zach. Easy paced run - legs felt lazy today. Tomorrow should be better (I hope)

Dry, low to mid 50's, and sunny can't be beat in Forest Park.

Rolled the left ankle twice when looking around at how awesome it is to have such an incredible park within 10 minutes of the house.

Ilana, Tim, Diane, and I all ran our own paces for this timed run. I thought I would have a negative split and actually finish right at the time limit. However, the winding, rolling hills plus the ginger ankle slowed me a bit.

Out 1:33:48

Ran solo for the first half then was joined by Toma and Robert. Nice day to run - gentle pace. Cool and foggy today - should be sunny in a couple of hours.

Hmm. Ran an extra lap?! 4.25 miles in 30:40 (pace of 7:13) is close enough to goal.

Interesting progression of effort/fatigue/running form vs avr HR.

Recovery run. Right leg a bit tight in area of pull/strain but all in all not too bad.

Warmed-up and ran several miles then did 35 minute circuit class. Followed up with 8+ miles to check out extend of injury. During the circuit class I extended my right leg and did what was effectively a lunge - during the first three or four I noticed that there was some tightness at the top of my quad, near the anterior pelvic area (the stretching felt good). On the next lunge I felt a tremendous pop with some associated pain - little pain, mostly scare. It was runnable without real symptoms but the area is a bit sore to touch. Hmmmm....have to get my anatomy book out and try to figure out what I did.

Okay class overall; however, her "you're almost done" starting halfway through the session was a bit early...

Recovery Run? It never got easier - mile 3 was as bad as mile 1 and mile 9 was as difficult as mile 3. Legs and rear-end were just toasted from yesterday. No pain - just no atp.
