Thursday: Geoff taped my ankle and I attmepted to run in my Skora’s (bad idea!). I had some ankle joint pain from the start and decided to take the tape off (worse idea). I only went for 1/2 mile with a pace of 9:23. Vertical oscillation was 9.73 cm and grond contact time was 51.4 (R); not nearly as good as barefoot on the treadmill. Friday: NEPA Fit Club. An easy workout comprised mostly of movement prep and stability. Max HR of 139 with an average of 97 bpm.
