Outdoors again

This morning I ran outdoors for the first time since injuring my ankle at Christmas. For the first time since then it's been above freezing for long enough that I could be reasonably sure that the sidewalks would not be icy. I ran for a bit over 5 minutes at a reasonable, fairly fluent pace. Everything felt fine. No soreness in the ankle and doing the staircases for the last couple of weeks seems to have got me back to an OK fitness level. If it stays warm and I don't get any weird pain setting in I'll try for 10 minutes tomorrow.
