MDHS...that's probably my fault. I goofed on the title last week (it should have ended on the 8th) but I couldn't correct it. So I think this is the right thread (unless we're moving our week to beginning on Tuesday)!

Injuries do suck. But don't let your head get the better of you about your ankle! It is what it is, and I know that you will be just fine in your tri. You need to believe that too. And you'll have that little helper adrenalin going for you on tri day. Do what you can, and don't set yourself back (says the woman who nursed a bad ankle for months because she wouldn't back off).

Due to infernos in Idaho and Utah, our air is verrrrry smoky and bad. Add to that the heat (yesterday was the first day below 100 in several days...it was only 97!), and...well...you can guess what that's doing to my running. I did get out this am for a 6.3-miler, up high (though I wasn't out of the smoke ). Hopefully it will start to clear out in the next couple of days, though I will still have to run in the am due to the temps.
