Went out today and ran eight miles in 66 minutes (about 8:15 minutes per mile). My snowboarding injury flared up again in my ankle a few weeks ago, so I haven't run in since then. I've been spending several days a week in the gym working on strengthening my legs and ankles. Today it paid off. I ran the first four miles in about 30 minutes, about 7:30 per mile. Feeling great, looking forward to doing a marathon this summer if I can keep up this level of fitness.
