Saturday long run with Chris. From park to double Sabine loop and back. Pretty crappy run. Legs had nothing. Felt okay for the first few miles, then began to have trouble keeping up with Chris, who wasn't running that fast. Couldn't make them turn over. By the last mile or two, it was a struggle to keep them moving at all. Weirdness. Hopefully a day off will do the trick.

Hermann-Rice long plus. Hopefully one of the last of the truly nasty hot and humid mornings - forecast calls for cooler, drier weather in a couple of days. Other than a little minor pain, the ankle was fine. Legs felt strong. Good base run.

Took a zero day to let the ankle heal a bit more. Still some soreness, but no swelling. Should be fine.

Hermann-Rice short. Had to make it quick this morning. Worked in some speed play through most of the run, which was going very nicely until I landed on a stupid nubby root along the Rice path and twisted by left ankle. Time would have been faster, but I was forced to hobble the last mile or so home. Will take it day to day.

Hermann-Rice long with Village and BB loop. Legs felt good after a couple days' rest. Mild, rainy weather didn't hurt either. Had to detour a bit at the end because part of my Braes Bayou trail is gone, sacrificed to the widening / beautification project. In the long term, definitely a good thing. Kinda sucks right now though.

Decided to take an extra day off. Legs still a little dead & they could use a bit more rest. Staying injury free is the #1 concern.

Much-needed off day. Legs are tired. Hell, everything is tired.
