Well, I took the weekend off to see if my legs would feel better today.  They were still sore, and it took me about a mile for them to loosen up a bit.  They were still sore to run on, but it was bearable.  I guess I need to break down and get some new shoes.  It's not hard to breathe while I run, so I can go farther, but my legs are slowing me down and slowing down my progression to higher mileage.  Total time for today was 24:02 (8:01/mile).

Once again it took awhile to get warmed up, but it felt okay after that.  I ran around the golf course to the clubhouse and back for 3.6 miles in 31:23 (8:43/mile).

The sore knees and ankles are getting a little old.  I feel like an old man starting out every day.  I got up a little late and only had time for 2 miles before class.  Total time was 15:37 (7:48/mile).

The legs felt a little better today, but still annoyingly sore.  I've been running in the 'newest' of my shoes.  They have a little more than 300 miles on them.  Due to operator error, I didn't get a total time for my run.  It was around 8 minute miles.

A late morning run around the golf course.  The knees and ankles didn't feel any worse, but they didn't feel any better either.  Total time was 30:25 (8:27/mile).
