Notes
my left tendon on outside ankle was KILLING me. i even massaged it for 10 minutes prior to run. it was popping on me this morning so knew it was going to be ugly. did 3 mile warmup and then changed shoes and did another 10 minute massage in car while waiting for rain to subside. tendon felt better but the rain, wind, losing my car key and late hour (12.30 at this stage) was not the best start to my proposed 10k. took off and did another mile warmup then started in on the 7:00 miles for the 10k portion. long story short - felt like 100% shit and had to stop at turnaround ... and then called it quits at 5m. the 5m time was pretty much in-line with my seattle torchlight time from 2007. i guess i should be happy with that but ... not the biggest confidence booster today. frankly, it sucked.
