Jogging #4: When Variables Attack!

I went running with the band (as pictured). Mom was right: exercise does make you not hurt...UNTIL YOU STOP.
It was strangely warm and, get this, foggy. This turned out to not actually affect what I was doing (other than "Oooo!"). OTOH, the random spots where the ground slopes down to the walkway and mud has washed all over it from the rain--.
The backlight on my watch has inexplicably started working again.
90 sec. run was easier today, but I think that's because I downscaled my expectations; I tried to obey the screed of "you should not be out of breath, you should be able to carry on a conversation" which meant I was moving about as fast as an arthritic hamster.
2.5 lbs down from Monday's horror, so I'm a whole half pound under where I started a week ago. YAY TEH BUS.
Analysis shows that I do, in fact, land differently on my right foot than my left. It really wants to come down on its ball rather than its heel; and when I force it to land heel-first, it's requiring muscles to do what they have not been accustomed, and that is why I have had a funny ache in my right shin only after these exertions.
