Attempt to get above the Smog, ankle trouble

Tonight I decided to give my ankle a try.  I hadn’t run on it for 8 days. I started partway up 400 N in Bountiful and ran up past the LDS Bountiful Temple towards Mueller Blvd., then I turned around, and bombed back down 400 N. and a ways up 400 W. I clocked some of my fasts miles going down the hill.  At about mile 2 my IT bands started hurting, but oddly enough, as I flew down the hill, the pain went away.  Nice!

My ankle was a different story.  I could feel it hurting the whole time, but oddly, it hurts most when I stop running and just walk.  In any case – it is hurting now.  This may have been a mistake.

It was nice to get above the inversion smog though – which has been really bad.

6.3 miles @ 9:15 min/mile and 378 ft. elevation.
