I have a hard time retiring shoes.  They're so dang expensive I want to get more than 500 miles out of them.  That being said, I hate these shoes.  Their bricks on me feet.  My problem with retiring them is that they have always been like that.  I can probably put more on them to get my money's worth but they suck.  I'm torn.

My legs are still a bit tired from Saturday.  I went pretty slow but not because I was relaxing.  I should have brought my head lamp.  There is often enough light even when there is no moon because clouds will glow from the lights of the surrounding cities.  But this morning was clear and with about 2 miles left I stepped in a hole and rolled my ankle and went down.  I got up and was able to limp it off and start running a little later.  There was no pain when I finished this run but now, an hour later, it's aching a little.  I hope it doesn't linger.  I was just starting to get in some miles.  I don't need this.

It was beautiful at 5am this morning.  I tried to run but gave up.  I thought maybe running would get my twisted foot warmed up but it just hurt worse the longer I ran.  I tried 3 or 4 different times with walks in between before giving up.  Bummer.  I don't think it is all that serious, it just may take some time.  I'm going to rest tomorrow and look at how things go on Thursday.

7 slow miles in the Altras.  This is the longest run in them since my ankle problems and my ankle felt great this time.  The other one that I turned on Monday was also fine, seems completely healed actually.  It's time to start running faster with more effort.  I've been running slow and easy now for a while because of my injuries that I've gotten slow.

I just didn't have it.  I was going to run 7 or 8 but it just wasn't there.  Legs were heave, ankle was aching (not Monday's twisted ankle), and I couldn't even run a 10 minute mile.  So at two miles I turned around to cut my run short and save some energy for tomorrow.  The last mile I actually started to feel good and could have run farther, but I was already home.  Oh well.
