Bike tour & back to running

The Long Beach Bike Tour was an absolute blast -- 26.2 miles, the whole marathon course -- I felt strong & fast and only had one embarassing moment. I couldn't make one 180' hairpin tour and ended up off the course a few yards til I got turned around. Better than crashing, which was the other option. My injured ankle held up fine. I've been cycling about a year now and I can definitely tell I've improved a lot, in endurance, speed, and bike skills (i.e. knowing when I'm going to crash and taking action!).

This past week I've run twice, including one session of quasi-intervals on the track, and my ankle feels ok. It's still swollen, and still twinges if I torque it laterally, but it's getting better.

I was endoscoped yesterday (upper GI for gastric reflux/ atypical chest pains) so am taking it easy this weekend. (The chest pains generally occur when I'm doing nothing as opposed to exercising, and everything cardiac looks okay.)
