Good run today. It was cold—47 F at 2:30 PM when I went out—so I wore long johns under my tights and tee-shirt, and that worked pretty well for keeping me warm but not too warm as I ran. The sun was out but the wind was cold. It was actually supposed to snow last night, but it didn't reach my elevation. I can see a dusting of snow on the mountaintops, though. It did rain heavily yesterday, but by the time I went out for my run it was pretty dry.

I wore my old Nikes and ran counter-clockwise, to see if that would help my ankle. It was a little sore as I ran, but not enough to bother me. So I think it did help. I hope if I get some good shoes it will eventually stop hurting altogether. My new running shoes arrived at the post office yesterday, but I didn't get the notice in my mailbox until I was on my way home, and I didn't feel like driving all the way back to the post office at that point. I'll go into town in a little while and pick them up. I have only a short walk scheduled for tomorrow, so that will be a good time to try them out.
