18:25

Tonight I ran the 2 miles in 18m25s. I finished my first 400m lap in 2:12, while the second & subsequent laps were ran at a slightly slower (& saner) pace of ~2:20 each. Amazingly I ran my final lap faster (just) than I ran the first, in 2:08. Yes, after running almost 2 miles at 6mph I actually had enough left in me to finish strong. Tomorrow? I am wisely choosing to rest & recover.

Despite having preexisting injuries of a dislocated ankle, two torn ACLs, and one slightly torn hamstring (injuries which never heal 100% & leave life-long impressions) I'm actually not that sore.

Bring on that 10K Mud Run!
(But not too soon ;)

Great work! I'm hobbling along as well at the moment thanks to a misspent youth and too many bad parachute landing falls. Take care of the joints and don't forget to recover. I ignored recovery for *years* because "that's how the Army taught me". At 40 - I've had nothing but regrets about that.
