Met Ty at the trailhead at 7AM. Ran 2.5 out and 2.5 back. I remember when 5 miles was a warm up. Folks it doesn't take long to lose some fitness...but on the good side, it was great to get a shot of endorphines in the morning. Ankle is feeling a little better. Signed up for a 5K race on Labor Day (the boys will be running the Kid's K). It'll be nice to enjoy a nice short race!

Been putting in some long hours at work this week. Got home around 8:00. Family was still at church, so I went for a run at the local  HS track. No watch, just me and the dark countryside. It was about 75F, but very humid, as it just rained. Can't wait for cooler temps.

The ankle is status quo. Not getting better, not getting worse. I've decided i'm not willing to quit cold-turkey, completely for the months it would take to completely heal itself. So, it's time to start building up the miles...as the temps go down, the miles will go up!

Decided to run at lunch...alone. It was overcast and about 80F and humid. Probably one of the better running days in the past few months.

AP: 7:45

Got an email from the guy organizing Pace Group leaders for the 2011 Cowtown Marathon. I thought about it, and decided to "go for it". I told him to put me down for the 3:40 pace group, for the third straight year. This will give me the incentive I need to get my rear in gear.
