I also changed into my Asics Hyperspeed 6's and then did some stretching + drills + a couple strides after the warm up; back to the Hoka's for the cool down.

205 miles of running for July! :D

August 1st-Saturday: Kingman Farm Trail Race-5.6 miles-(2 E-16:08 + 3.6 mi. race-26:20)-combined total-(42:28) in the AM. Not much to say about this one. I twisted my ankle real bad half a mile into the race, but decided to keep going so I ran about 3 more miles where things just got progressively worse. The pain in the last mile was really getting to me. I should have just thrown in the towel after the first mile because three days later things are still healing. I did end up hanging onto 3rd OA, but I believe that I could have given 1st place-Josh Fields a run for his money if I didn't hurt myself. I HATE not being able to run or cross train. We'll see how it is feeling tomorrow-Wednesday.

42.6 miles-(5:32:24) of running for the week :)
