A new month and time to get back into it.  October was a nice and relaxing break but I need to get serious again. One of the things that I am going to start doing (have actually done it for a couple of weeks) is to run the last couple of miles of each run a little faster than normal.  I usually just lock into a pace and stay with it for the entire run.  This has caused me to get comfortable and perhaps a little lazy.  I think it is important to get more used to a slightly faster pace.

My left foot is hurting from the trail run.  I must have bruised it on the rocks.  It was alright after a couple of miles but it is a little bothersome.

Only time for a few brisk miles.  It felt good to run at a quicker pace.

Nothing exciting.  Just a run.

**REVISED**

I guess my original blog entry was not sufficient for some so I will take another crack at it.  I woke up and got a couple of hours of work in before getting ready to run.  While it was cold outside, it is much warmer than I would expect this time of year (running pants, long sleeve shirt and gloves were perfect).  As I was putting on my shoes, I noticed that my right foot hurt a little more than normal.  It is taking more time for it to recover from the trail run than I would like.  Headed out toward the LPT.  I haven't run there for more than a month.  Started out slow while I gave my body a chance to warm up.  Gradually picked up the pace.  Kept it in the comfortable range until the last 2 miles where I sped up a little more.  I have no idea what the pace was because I have been running naked (watchless) since the marathon.  Numbers are not important right now.  Just focusing on the effort and how it makes my body feel.

I didn't have a lot of energy this morning.  Work is going to be crazy for the next couple of weeks so I am not expecting to be on top of my game.  Pain in the left foot is getting worse.

Feet and ankles are extra sore today.  Took it easy in an effort to get the soreness under control.

Just realized I didn't log this run.  Only had time for a few miles because my girl's started indoor soccer and their games are on Saturday mornings.  Everything felt good.  I have run so many 7 milers lately that my body thought it was done once I hit the 7 mile mark.
