Zippedy doo da!  I finally got a run in.  My calf has been feeling better, but I wanted to wait until today, just to be safe.  I did 50 sit-ups, 10 push-ups, a few jumping jacks, and hopped on the stationary bike just to loosen up.  Then I went and stretched outside while my Garmin was syncing up.  I felt good.  Then I started to run, and it felt a little tight.  I got worried, but went on anyway.  After a while it seemed to loosen up, but my ankles felt more and more tender as I went.

It was nice to be outside again.  I've been seeing more and more people out because of how cool it's been getting.  My how I've wanted to join them.  Today Never-Look-at-Me lady didn't even say good morning to me.  In fact, she stayed to the left (her left) as I ran by her.  This isn't England!  We drive in the right lane!  I also saw another new lady twice as she was pushing her stroller, and we were going opposite ways around the loop.  Ooh, and then there was this new gorgeous looking blonde that was walking with her Ipod.  But since I like older ladies, there's not much to say about her.

Time - 25:23 (avg. pace 8:28) - right where I wanted to be.

Splits - 8:18, 8:37, 8:29

Temp - 63 - beautiful
