Now that was a GOOD run

Well, isn't it strange how sometimes dispite how crappy I feel, I can crank out a run like this one. I woke up this morning with a pain in my right ankle, the tendon in the front of it was hurting for no apparent reason and nagged me through the day at work. I had some serious concerns as I laced up as the pain wasn't bad, it just wasn't going away. I headed out anyway, cautious and willing to turn back if the pain got worse. The weather wasn't bad, 6C with a breeze, so it felt more like 3C. I headed out the same route I ran two weeks ago, shooting to run about 45 seconds to 1 minute faster than last time. My ankle threatened me for the first little bit but as I settled into a rythm, it seemed to settle down as well. It was there the whole way around but never was much of a bother. I noticed it more on descents mind you. My pace held very steady, even at 6k, with the 100ft climb in less than 300meters. The last 2k were slower considering fatigue and traffic. When I finished up, I had a pretty much even split over the distance. I was very pleased indeed. My ankle was sore but okay, not much different than it had been at the beginning. 1:11:58 ~ 14km, 5:06 km pace. The last time at the same distance on the same route I was over 5 minutes slower. Maybe something is working? Be peaceful friends.
