Final Thoughts on the Week:

Hill climbing was solid this week.  Legs would be fatigued at the top of the hill, but bounced back quickly shortly after summiting.  Left ankle may be suspect, but we’ll just have to wait and see how it feels this next week.  It was a good week of running; feel confident afterwards.
