Just a little running this week

I ran three times this week. Well let's just say for a short, very short distance I ran very slowly this past week. I could feel a tug or pull in my ankle when I was running but I had no pain afterward. I am running on a treadmill for now until the air quality is better and the heat index is lower. Currently we have had several 100 heat index days in the last week. I have been hitting the free weights as well, I need to increase some strength all over not just in my ankle. I have been running in my five fingers and I am beginning to see several people wearing them in the gym. I plan on slowly increasing my mileage and keep a rather slow pace until I am at 3 miles and then I will increase the pace.

Time to Start Running

I am going to start running tonight. Hopefully my ankle has healed. I plan on only running about 1/4 of a mile tonight and see how my ankle feels tonight and tomorrow. I will increase my running much more slowly this time. i have a 5k coming up in August but that is not a concern. I want to run a 1/2 marathon in March of 2011 so my goal is to slowly increase my running to attempt that goal.
