Since I didn't do my long run on Saturday, I didn't make a vlog this week. I did make a video though, and while I wasn't running, I was editing it together.
On Saturday, I drove up to Folsom, and with the family & Flip in tow, took video of the CIM route! It makes for a great visualization tool.
So here it is.

CIM Training Week 7, Day 1: 6 taper miles
Today was supposed to be my day off, but yesterday's long run went out the window when the 3/5 of my family turned up sick. I made the decision to stay home so my wife could rest, so I decided to make up the mileage during this week.
As a result, my rest day came early, and I had a great run today! Combine that with my new shoes, and I was a happy man.

Mile 1: 8:57
Mile 2: 8:58
Mile 3: 9:28
Mile 4: 9:03
Mile 5: 9:26
Mile 6: 9:17
6 miles, 55:09, 9:12/mi average, 659 calories burned
This also marks the beginning of Week 2 of the taper, but with missing yesterday's long run, I think I'll end up with a lot more mileage than originally planned. Still, with shorter mileage per day, I should be ok.
One last thing: I ran 6 miles today and didn't think much of it, but on the way home from work I realized I hadn't worn KT Tape! I'm starting to think I'm pretty much recovered from the ankle injury, but I'm also thinking I'm going to wear it for CIM just in case.

- 15:12:11: Question: in the big picture (i.e., #cim), will skipping my 13-miler today be a big deal? So many reasons (both good and bad) not to do it.
