I like to run on Halloween night. It is the best time to run. I don't have to buy candy, and I still get to see the costumes! I have a costume, too ~ I go out disguised as a runner. I don't think I fooled anyone, though.
This is the third year for my annual Halloween run. It was disappointing. I thought, with the weather a little warmer than usual, I'd see more kids, and the costumes wouldn't be covered up with jackets. But I really didn't see very many kids this year. Maybe greed is down, with the stock market and all.
With my right leg still bothering me, I decided to slow jog/walk in intervals of 1:1, as Galloway suggest for runners with slight injuries. The leg continued to be a problem. It was not limp-worthy, but enough to make the run unenjoyable.
I will go to the running store tomorrow, and see if they can help me. I do think it is totally a stride problem. I probably need new arches, but I might need new shoes as well. It's time to buy the next pair anyway ~ I like to have two pairs to alternate, and right now, I only have one.
Slow run/walk ~ 4 miles
Walk breaks ~ every other minute
Weather ~ mid-60s
Took about 55 minutes (slow!!)
Halfway listened to: Genesis, Platinum, Disc 2
I will do RICE tonight and tomorrow, and see if that helps.

Saw you were a follower of my blog, thanks for visiting. Happy 100th birthday, you look great!
Sounds like you need to take care of those shoes, arches, feet, etc. I work at the New Balance store here in winter Park, FL. Glad you listen to Jeff Galloway, he was a great help to me getting started.
I like the idea of rounding up while carrying groceries :-)
