Smoke inhalation

Yikes! Visability was almost zero this morning as a thick layer of smoke covered much of South Florida, thanks to more wildfires burning (including in the Everglades near our community) . One of our neighbors actually pulled up alongside me in his car and told me I shouldn't be running because the smoke is bad for me. I didn't even realize how bad it was gradually becoming until he said that. I didn't stray far from home, trying to follow yesterday's 2 mile loop. My goal was 5 miles; I did 6. I wanted to do 7, but my knees had other ideas. I rarely run two longer runs on consecutive days, but I have to plan in advance for the "red zone" this weekend! My legs were already so tired from yesterday's run, but I still pulled through, despite feeling a little wobbly.

I did feel my right ankle starting to bother me, just a little. I don't know if it's because I upped my mileage (probably), or if I need new shoes (true anyhow). I have to try to follow the 10% rule next week, or I'll be sidelined again.
