11 Miles on the W&OD Trail

I was feeling pretty good today even after running 8 miles yesterday, so I set out for a run today without a specific distance goal.  I just wanted to run and to see how my ankle would feel running a second day in a row.  I watched my pace and kept a mindful eye on how my ankle felt.  Thankfully I didn't have any issues and was able to run 11 miles.  I think if I had actually planned the run better by fueling for a longer run and not having run 8 the day before that I could have run at least 13 or so miles.  That's encouraging.  It makes me think my stamina will come back quickly (after a slow start post-recovery).

I iced my ankle afterwards and did some stretches.  There's some very mild swelling but nothing significant.  I will rest it tomorrow (except for physical therapy tomorrow afternoon) and then I'll run a 5 miler on Tuesday.
