Somewhat recovered from injury

Today was the second day of my first back-to-back days of running since the Hatfield-McCoy marathon. I’m running at a considerably more sane pace than 8 minute miles.

I have noticed that my body seems to be a little bit unfamiliar with running now. Still, 6.4 miles yesterday… below my established 8’50″ easy pace. Had to wrap in FreezeIT after. This morning, my first mile was rough, but 8’33″ pace overall for 8 miles. My heel and ankle hurt a little bit, but I’m actually feeling better after today’s workout than after yesterday’s.
