Winning Back What I Lost

Midday GB run from Municipal Park to BSU footbridge to Cottonwood Apts and back to Municipal Park; very cool temps (low 50's) but no wind; very pleasant running weather w/ falling leaves; spotted a couple of pods of rising trout and was half tempted to stop and watch them; its days like today that make paying the mountain tax to live and work in Boise well worth it; 8:22 pace

GB run from Ann Morrison to Veterans Bridge and back; windy and cold today (temp in the 40's); not too many people on the GB due to the weather and, I suspect, a lot of people voting on their lunch hours; I voted via mail-in ballot and I plan to drive by my precinct on the way home this afternoon and mock all of those standing in line;  quads were stiff and sore but I did turn up the pace from yesterday with a couple of sub 8 min miles; 8:12 overall pace

Decided to get off the GB and run through the neighborhoods of north Boise; temp was in the 40's w/ bright sunshine; started and ended at the base of the foothills so I got more elevation change than my typical Boise River GB run; 8:22 pace

Didn't run yesterday as I had too much to do during my lunch hour and my wife had too much to do when I got home; I need to log more miles but its getting more and more challenging; haven't done a long weekend run in forever and it looks like this weekend will be the same; GB from FF memorial to Willow Lane and back; temp in 50's w/ bright sunshine and no wind; 8:26 pace

Started a new running program today; I've been just running to log miles the past couple of months and I'm finally motivated enough to mix in some temp, easy, long and speed work; easy run today on the T/M; 8:57 pace

 Busted my ankle last night playing basketball; went to the ER and X-rays didn't show a break; swelling was unlike any ankle sprain I've ever had and much higher up; they gave me crutches and referred me to an orthopedist; looks like running is out of the question for at least 6-8 weeks, Aargh!
