Tried out my injured foot today.  Had some pain between miles 2 and 5.  Hardly noticed it on the last half, but it hurt when I got home.  I iced it, and that helped.  Not too sure what I'm doing or if it was a mistake to run on it.  It was my first run since Thanksgiving.  The weather was really nice this morning.  Had a little precipitation, but I couldn't tell if it was rain or snow.  The temperature was 34 degrees.  Most of the snow has melted and I didn't have to jump over too many snow banks.

I ran 10.21 miles in 1:36:10 for an average pace of 9:29.

I thought my foot was better today.  I took off running faster than usual.  Within a couple of miles, the pain started nagging me again, but it was very tolerable.  I finished in 33:27.  By the time I finished, my right knee was hurting.  Now my knee feels better, but I'm limping around a little.

 I guess that I will need to ride my bike instead for aerobic exercise.  This running just isn't working.
