Well my new love affair with Training Peaks took precedence over a post on Sunday.  I have a great visual to put up when I get home tonight.  Its my temperature gauge on my back patio.
Why oh  why dear Comm's would you take a picture of that?  Because Phoenix set new highs for Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the high and the low of the day.  My picture shows my patio at 5 pm Friday is 118 degrees, in the shade.  Cripes.  The lowest temperature recorded all weekend, a new high by the way, is 86 degrees. 
Got in some good training.  A good HR ride Sunday, never getting above zone 2, well I did once to do a break away on an open road.  Do you know I can ALMOST keep up with Floyd Landis for 1k of his 100k time trial.  I felt pretty good about that.  Yes, I am a 'one-percenter', no not is that way.
I will be honest and say I did put some weight on my leg.  I did some sloooooow jogging in the grass around a football field.  Average pace 14:32.  Surprizingly my HR was in the 145-152 range but my leg did not hurt at all which was the point.  My ankle got tight for the rest of the day.  I think I slightly sprained it at Mountain Man when I put my shin over the edge. 
Today is rehab and a 90 walk, yes just a walk, on grass or golf course.  I'm going down to Tempe Town Lake, the Ironman Arizona run course.  Figure I will probably walking on that anyway next April, might as well see what its like in training.  For all the years I have run around TTL, I have never purposefully walked it unless it was part of my run plan or I had bonked on the run.
