No Ankle Brace

I gave it a try.  I just ran 5 miles without the ankle brace.  It didn't feel any worse and I think it felt better.  Sometimes things like that actually hinder movement. So I am not going to use it anymore.  That way I can force my ankle into relying totally on its own strength.

I really wanted to do a long run today but for some reason I ended up sleeping too late. As soon as I have a day where I wake up earlier, I will get in a long run. As long as my ankle feels better, I feel like I am making progress. I hope it stops hurting completely before I go to Paris for the marathon. Pain will definitely slow my pace on the run.

Having some nice clear weather here, but still below zero.
