At the gym next to the hotel in San Diego. The hotel gym was actually a MMA center. I was a little out of place but tried my best.

Nice afternoon out in shorts. Did some easy running in the neighborhood at about 8:35 - 8:40/mile. Need to be on absolutely flat because slants or dips in the road put additional strain on the ankle.
Core and stretching - 10 minutes
