RECAP: Well there is definitely something wrong with my ankle, how serious it is, I’d don’t know. Right now I’ve cut way back on the miles and upped the cross training and am hoping that with ice and reduced mileage, it’ll go away.

So, goals wise, it wasn’t a good week, but I did run, and I did get back into the erg, which is kind of exciting. I’m starting to rethink my winter training plans and its possible the erg is going to play a bigger role, especially in the next month as I heal up.

Here’s the week in numbers:

Just going to survive through this week to the half marathon this weekend, then time to get planning for next year.
