Runner’s diary, Thursday

Five miles and I injured my ankle. Go figure. I was running along Schalks Crossing Road near the new senior development being built in South Brunswick when I stepped to my left to create a little more space between the oncoming traffic and poor little me. When I came down on my left foot, I must have hit a stone and rolled my ankle. I managed to finish off the run (I was at the four-and-a-quarter-mile mark). It’s not bad — I tried to ice it and I’m not limping — but I have no idea whether I’ll be able to run for a few days. Sheesh.

Runner’s diary, Wednesday

A three-mile jaunt in drizzly weather (we got back in just before the deluge struck, from what I understand), with Mike and Paul from the gym in what can be considered the first of our official training sessions for the 18-mile LBI run in October. We kept the pace mellow — 3.2 miles, to be exact, in 30:58. And we’ll be slowly pushing the mileage up every week.

I’m at eight miles for the week, with a goal of doing 12 more.
