And some idiot cuts in front of me and stops right near the beginning. I dodge, land funny, and turn my ankle under. Of course, I keep running. Ankle loosened up as I ran. Managed to run for just short of 2 miles before I decided to walk a bit. According to Gmap-Pedometer, I walked about 1k to let my back recover a bit. Ran again but had a sudden stitch in my side. Walked a minute to breathe that out then decided that come Hell or high water, I was finishing at the run. I even managed to pass a few people in the last bit. Official time was 33:56. I think that if I'd kept running, I might have broken 30, but I'm not sure that I was going fast enough to do that or that I could have run that far. I know now that I was making about a 10 minute mile pace when I started walking at 18 minutes or so.
In general, I'm really happy with my performance. I've only run 5 or 6 times, counting today, since I started back up. Hopefully this ankle injury won't knock me out for too long since I have to get ready for the Peachtree.
