May 25th: Day 11

Today was a 5 mile run. I intended to do it yesterday, but I went to the beach with some friends instead. Plus it was insanely windy yesterday. Running would have been no fun!

It was a nice run. It's about 70 degrees out, overcast with some sprinkles, so I had no worries of heat or sun in my eyes. 

Lately I've been having some tenderness in my lower legs. Last Saturday I woke up in the middle of the night for some water. I stepped on the ground and...ouch!...my ankle hurt. It's persisted for the past week. And now as my weekly mileage has increased from 5 miles in April to 11-20 miles in May my lower legs feel sore. I'm no physician and never took an anatomy course so I can't say exactly what it is that's bothering me, or whether it's a muscle or a tendon. I spent extra time today stretching and ordered the stick. It should be here in 3-5 business days! 

All I have to say is...ugh.
