      Rest is good. Your body needs time to repair itself. Great job with the 4 miler and 6 days of running.

      And, I thought I was the only one who liked running in the ran. Sounds like you had a great run - even better that you had no pain. Nice one! :)

    Jog for miles. Worked on form, specifically trying to engage my core more. No pain in ankle. Nice drizzly afternoon for a run.

      Good call on the slower pace. Pain free is the way to go, even if you have to slow down a bit. It's still faster than I usually run :-)

      I am really feeling great about this. I have been walking around all afternoon pain free and just went with a 1 mile stroll with my wife. I think i will be sticking with the slow pace for a while and enjoy the benefits.

      When I was having ITB issues, pain was hitting around mile 5-6. At one point I just decided to focus on 3-4 milers since that was where things remained comfortable. I knew it wasn't permanent, it was enough to get me by until the ITB stuff resolved. Not sure if that answers your question :-) Remain flexible in your training, is what I mean.

    Sherwood Forest Loop 2.76 mi 00:29 10:30 pace

    My 9 yo daughter rode her bike while I jogged. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully it wasn't too boring for her and she will do it again.

      I love family runs/rides. I'm sure she loved it and will want you to take her out again. Daddy daughter time is very important. Nice job to both of you. And take it easy on the ankle. I would keep it slow for a bit. I'm sure it's hard for you, but better than getting hurt again.
