Conditions: The average temperature was 22.7^ (according to the watch :)) It was a warm day with little wind.

Remarks: I went for an easy run with John, the objective was to run 4 miles at about 8:20 pace. We were running on grass – around the rugby pitch in Clonakilty.

I’m not sure what happened with the pace, Johns watch measured the distance as lower, and our pace as slower (about 8:20 min pace)

I need to run with both the Fenix 2 and my Forerunner 410 to see if they give the same measures.

Recovery: My ankle was a bit sore before the run, actually it was a bit sore this morning when I got up, I’m thinking the runners I was wearing need to go in the bin, hence I had brought an older pair with me – I really need to buy new runners ASAP.

The run was good and we had time to catch up on my trip to Atlanta. My ankle didn’t bother me.

Tonight as I’m writing the entry, I’ve just put some fastum gel on the ankle and I’ve physio with Peter at 6:45 in the morning, hopefully I haven’t done anything to stop me training.
