Today didn't turn out quite like I had planned. I started my run and didn't take into consideration that the grass was wet and slippery...yep...I fell! It is not easy to run when you are laughing so hard. I went to cut through a grassy area just like I always do and didn't think about it being slippery. Hit the edge of the grass and lost my balance luckily I fell into the grass.

At my mile mark I had to stop and take off my ankle brace that I tried to wear to see if it would help my left ankle...however, I didn't take into consideration that it would cut off circulation to my foot too. :-/  I need to look into another type of brace to see if it might help...that or take some ibuprofen to see if that helps.

Then as I enter the park there is a dog that is loose. I always take precaution around a loose dog...luckily this one was friendly. I (along with another lady) were able to get the dog still enough to look at the tag and call it's owner. I ended up taking the dog to a house by Wenger Shelter.

So back to my run...I knew it wouldn't be the kind of run I was used to so I ran hard for the next mile until I got home. I figured I might as well do something with today's run so I did a faster last mile.

I ended up coming home and taking a 2-mile walk with Karen A. and caught up with here which was a nice way to end my "run" for today.
