Neighborhood Run

On the weekend I bought new running shoes as a treat for sticking with my weekly run goal for 5 months (except a few times I was unwell)

So yesterday afternoon I went for a neighborhood 1 mile run. 

Fall is such a pretty time in our neighborhood as the cottonwoods, autumn blaze maples and aspens change color!

But it was warm and I forgot my water bottle so I ended up walking the last little bit because my vocal cords were spasming (I have VCD) so I couldn't stop coughing! 

But it was a great workout anyway. 

I've got a slightly troublesome ankle ATM so I strapped it pretty well but I'll see how it goes today now the muscles have cooled down and had some rest. That should help me determine if I should run on it Saturday for the Miles for Mom's Fun Run or just walk the 5km to be safe.
