Time: 45 min
Distance: 8 kilometers
Comments: I first intended to put in a half-hour run but decided to go for the 45 minute effort I originally penciled in the training schedule. The logic being that I'll run the half-hour tomorrow if I feel good but I can now give myself two solid rest days if i need to.The run was plagued by a sore right ankle (see below) but in terms of strength and form it went very well. I can tell I am getting into my race shape at last. I just hope I can fend off injury long enough to get to the starting line.
