2 1/2 miles in my ankle started hurting. Tried to walk it off, but it wasn't happening. Very saddened. I hope I'm OK.

okay, I don't know what is going on with your ankle, but you should read my novel post about equivalent x-training and incline running post from my PT when I got to go weight bearing without my boot (last Wed post I think). Long read, but those things may be worth your time if you feel you're having issues. Just a suggestion.

Wow, Brad, I hope your ankle is ok. Are you doing the Buffalo Run 50 miler?
From Maynard on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:12:43 from 71.213.12.61
I hope I'm OK. I probably am.
RAD: I'll check out your post.
Dale: Yes, our very own Smooth pointed out the merits of the 50 miler vs the 50K out there on Antelope Island and I conceded.

Smooth can be very persuasive. I had plans to run the 50 miler this year, But its not meant to be, once again.

Yeah, you've been in kind of a running funk for a while. I keep waiting to climb out of my life funk, but it still seems to evade me every time I think I'm getting there. ;)

I hear ya. I've been having a life funk AND a running funk. I can't believe my last race was in January of 2010. Good grief, what has happened to me? My last completed marathon was UVM in 2009. Now I'm trying to get back into it since I'll be running Ogden with my wife.

I just signed up for the Antelope Island 25K! There are only 20 spots left! :)
Dale ~ you should do it now before the price goes up $10 in the morning! Hehe! :)
Bradley ~ c'mon we need you to get excited about running...no more funky talk! How's the ankle?
From Maynard on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:29:25 from 71.213.12.61
Dale: Good luck to both of us! I found, last year running 2 half marathons with my two older daughters, and the marathon with one of them, that training and running along side someone can really be a plus. I just felt a whole lot more motivated and it became a selfless act rather than what had been 'running-just-for-me.' I don't know--I think I'm rambling...
Smooth: walking around tonight, it's felt fine. I'll give it another go tomorrow on the treadmill after work.
From DaleG on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:35:02 from 152.216.11.5
I didn't think you were rambling. But yes, I know what you mean. I find that if I'm planning to do a race with someone, it helps motivate me, whereas, if I'm traning for a race where I won't know anyone, it makes it difficult and I end up not training at all.
Smooth....Any chance you'd run it with me, no matter how slow I will be?
From Smooth on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:35:23 from 75.162.95.99
Crossing my fingers and toes that you'll be good to run tomorrow. Why treadmill?
From Maynard on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:38:55 from 71.213.12.61
Treadmill cause work has taken up all my daylight hours. :(
From DaleG on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:39:17 from 152.216.11.5
Hmmmmm...$60 for a 25k seems kind of steep.
From Smooth on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:39:49 from 75.162.95.99
Dale ~ I'll be walking the steepest hill. :) Who knows what kind of shape I'll be. I plan on running the Red Rock Marathon (very hilly) 2 weeks before! I persuaded my friend, Karen to sign up so I will be running with her for sure! :) It will be fun, I think! :)
From Smooth on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:41:27 from 75.162.95.99
Brad ~ Dang! You work too much! :(
From Maynard on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:43:15 from 71.213.12.61
Yeah, and now I've kept myself up too late. Time for bed. Keep me posted on the group run when you get back from Texas!
From Smooth on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 00:46:52 from 75.162.95.99
Okeedokee!!! Sweetest dreams!!! :)
From Smooth on Thu, Feb 02, 2012 at 14:27:18 from 75.162.95.99
So, how's the ankle?
From Maynard on Thu, Feb 02, 2012 at 15:02:37 from 199.190.170.30
I didn't get a chance to run on it yesterday. Hoping to tonight, but not sure how it'll all work out.
