My ankle is still not perfect, but its was good enough to get out for a little bit of a run today. I always feel terrible after taking a few days off in a row.

Feeling better but definitely not perfect. It would hurt a lot if I twisted it again!

Biked for the first time in a while. It was fun but I remember why I'm a runner and not a biker. I could hill climb all day long but it takes a lot of power to keep moving on the flats that I just don't have.

This is Oz getting ready for a 10k.  I actually ran pretty even splits the whole thing which is surprising for me. I never really pushed very hard but I'm not sure I know how to push so it was good to get close and start to learn how to run a little faster.

Easy run even though I was tired. I had to get my legs going again and it felt good.
