Moderate: 6.5 Miles to Pick Up the Kid

I broke 1,000 miles for the year! I've only been logging my mileage for about 6 years now and this is the quickest I've reached 1,000 miles for any given year during that time. I typically don't reach this milestone until November or December, if at all.

More good news: my ankle didn't bother me at all on this run, so I kept the distance as planned and even ran some fast spurts with the kiddo. I iced my ankle after the run, just in case, but it's looking more like I simply turned my ankle, rather than sprained it.
