I had a little residual soreness yesterday from Saturday's run but acknowledged it as a good thing.

I worked up a 1 mile extension to what has become my usual 5 mile route. I was a bit sluggish throughout today's run but nothing too bad. I started around 8:30 per mile and gradually fell off a bit. Some of that may have been the new section of my routing. I actually made a wrong turn in Wimbledon Estates resulting in cutting the route 1/2 mile short. But I tacked on a loop around the block back at the house to get to 6 miles. I picked up the last mile enough to take my average pace back under my 8:30 goal. I noticed a bit of a tweak in my right ankle and something lurking in my left knee but neither of these ended up having an impact on the run. I'm hopeful the injuries are behind me. Overall it was a pretty good run.
