My first run of the New Year!

January 1, 2014.  It is very weird to write 2014!

I started off the new year on the right fun, no pun intended, and went for a great run.  I’ve been having my ankle issues and have been wearing an ankle brace the past few weeks.  The problem with the ankle brace though is I can’t wear it for anything longer than 5-6 miles without it rubbing and causing a blister.  So today I didn’t wear it to see how it would go.

I had my daughter in the jobbing stroller, all 36 lbs of her, and headed out around the hills in my area.  Between the hills and the jogging stroller I got a pretty good workout in.  I took it easy on my ankle, but it felt good with no brace.  That makes me really happy since I will  be running the Dopey Challenge next week.

It was also a successful run because my daughter fell asleep!  Woohoo! Nap time in the jogging stroller is always a plus.  Notice she is wearing her glass slippers. haha

I got in a little over 7 miles to kick off the New Year. Did you get in a run today?
