Ran with the Big Peach trail running group today.  Hung in the back of the first pack - just wanted to get some miles in on the trails today.  I got in 90 min which I guess was 9 or so miles.  I'll mark it down as 9.  It didn't seem that slow, but either way it was a good trail run on a new trail for me.  

 Unfortunately on my third loop I rolled my left ankle and made a nice little pop or crunching noise.  I was following some slower guys and wasn't paying enough attention to the trail.  But I ran it back in and it isn't too bad right now.

ran to the track after work and tried to get in a good set of intervals.  but the clouds opened up and flooded the track after my first interval.  I struggled through a couple more but it was hard going.  And my watch died.... I called it off after a while.  

ended up with 3x400 and 2x800 at good paces

Took the lat summer PTO day.  I ran in the morning before our day trip to Helen, GA and then did another bit after we got home.  I felt good on both.  Ankle is officially ok...yea!

Ran after work again - it was like 85 or so and 50% humidity, which is actually not bad.  I hate this route, I guess cause it is hard.  I usually take it too hard in the first half and slow down on the return.  So I took it easy and just tried to be even paced and not slow down.   And I was even steven - not fast but no slow down
