Running with the reindeer...December runs!

Actually, my aerobics shoes do have high heels. They are Nikes and have the clear looking heel with some kind of disc looking things inside. I don't remember the model. I bought them about 5 years ago and hardly wore them until this year. My running shoes are quite unsupportive, in that I bought them to avoid seams that hurt my bunion. They are pretty flat on the bottom. They feel thin and it's like I can feel the pavement when I run. I never ever had issues with my other shoes, except for the bunion. But ever since I got these, my knees, shins, and now of course my metatarsals are complaining.
My foot never got worse during the day, and I wore my comfortable shoes to make sure. I'll see how it is after spin tomorrow. I find the standing in spin bugs my foot. I hardly ever stand when I am riding, so that is not an issue.

Freakish weather here yet again-- it was so warm this morning that I did my run in shorts and short sleeves, but with mittens. Just 4 miles; the wind was picking up as the sun rose, so I cut it short.

I'd been getting a bit down on myself about my low mileage and slow speeds of late, but last night I looked back at my log from last December. And now I feel better. Last year my mileage was slightly higher, averaging 28 miles/week to this year's 25, but I'm going about 20 sec/mile faster. Not bad! Still, the mileage is going to have to increase if I'm going to do a March 31 half. Plenty of time until then, though...
