I ran 4 pain-free miles in Springville today!

I didn't want to overdo it, so I finished with 52 minutes in the pool. I was able to keep the HR at 150 this time by swimming 2/3 laps on my back and 1/3 crawling. I made it just over a mile, but I'm calling it 5.5 miles for log purposes. Somebody let me know if that's too much.

I ran 5 painless miles at 7:15 pace up Canyon Rd, which wasn't so great because hills seem to bother the ankle a little. I was fine during the run, but afterwards I had a little pain going down some stairs, so I'm not out of the woods yet. But the progress is encouraging.

The last two days have been kinda crazy, so I gave my ankle a little rest. I have 8 hours of sleep for the last two nights... it's catching up to me.

Anyway, I got in an  easy 3 this morning at 6:52 pace. I wasn't trying to push the pace, but the legs are feeling fresh from the extra rest. The ankle didn't hurt and hasn't been hurting since, but I can tell it's not 100% yet. Tight is the best way I can describe it--not painful, just tight. I'm thinking that supplementing some short runs with lots of swimming will get me 100% in a week, maybe a little more. I'll hit the pool tonight.

PM - I got about 39 minutes in the pool. Since I didn't have as much time tonight, I tried to work a little harder. HR averaged between 150 and 160.

Swam for 80 minutes today. Kept HR above 145 bpm, so it was a pretty good workout. I didn't have a chance to run afterwards, but it won't hurt to let the ankle rest a little.
