I started at the Farmington Pond, ran north on the BST to Shepherd Canyon, up to the Upper Terrace, and took that back to the car. Its a great loop. My left IT band hurt towards the end, but my ankle did not. Often the pain is delayed, really coming over the next two days&#8230;..and&#8230;&#8230;no pain. The ankle felt great in the days after. So &#8211; I am officially swearing off pavement for now.\u00a0 And good riddance! I have also started taking vitamin D and calcium supplements, which the doctor said will help promote bone healing, growth, and strength. I doubt they are kicking in this quickly, but it can&#8217;t hurt &#8211; right?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_452\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-452\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2014-05-10-farmington-upper-terrace.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-452 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2014-05-10-farmington-upper-terrace.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2014-05-10 Farmington Upper Terrace\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2014-05-10-farmington-upper-terrace.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/2014-05-10-farmington-upper-terrace.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I think its official.
